RELATIONSHIP COACH
Location: Online & Steamboat Springs, CO
Caelen is a relationship coach, Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Addiction Counselor, and Level 3 PACT-trained provider who helps committed couples build secure, connected partnerships on purpose, not by luck.
With over a decade in mental health, including work with couples across the US and abroad, Caelen began her career in addiction and recovery before discovering couples work through her own marriage. Navigating the arrival of children, the loss of family members, and everyday life stress taught her how much of a relationship’s strength comes from the skills couples practice, not just the love they feel. That experience changed her life, and it’s why she now focuses on helping couples learn those skills before life puts them to the test.
Caelen completed Levels 1-3 of the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT) with Stan Tatkin, PsyD, and continues her involvement with the PACT Institute through coaching in Level 1 and 2 trainings and participating in consultation groups with Dr. Tatkin and colleagues. She holds a BA from the University of Colorado, Boulder, and a Master’s degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Clinical Counseling from Naropa University.
Caelen believes couples change when they understand not only how to do something differently, but why it works. Her approach blends attachment theory, neuroscience, and experiential practice so couples leave with tools they understand and can use in daily life. She speaks and guest lectures on attachment and relationships and was a multi-year finalist for Best Mental Health Counselor in the Yampa Valley’s “Best of the Boat.”
When she’s not working, you’ll find Caelen in the mountains of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, biking, skiing, hiking, and camping with her husband, Kevin, and their two daughters.
