Caitlyn is currently licensed in Missouri, Illinois, Florida, Texas, Alabama, Colorado, South Carolina, and Arizona and is pursing licensure in Georgia and Tennessee. 

Caitlyn worked directly with children/teens/adults in the greater St. Louis area for over 5 years, providing support to adolescents and families who sought support with mental health concerns. Caitlyn worked with middle schoolers and high schoolers in St. Louis charter schools providing mental health services in 2019, and then began her ventures into the world of eating disorders after beginning work for Alsana at the residential eating disorder level in 2020. Caitlyn shifted to virtual services within Alsana in 2024 after leaving St. Louis to return to her home state of Wyoming.

Caitlyn is a former graduate of Torrington High School, in Torrington, Wyoming and feels passionate that rural areas need more support and resources to address the mental health crisis. She believes that mental health care and spiritual connection can be integrated as a whole to support someone in their darkest of times. She believes that when providing a space to discuss mental health issues, we as humans we are more likely to find deeper ways to connect to self, understand our experiences, and experience life in a compassionate and healing way.

Kimberly Wynn is the Virtual PHP/IOP Program Coordinator for Alsana.

Kim is passionate about helping individuals who seek recovery get and stay well!  She meets individuals where they’re at in their journeys and walks with them to reach their goals.

I am a licensed professional counselor with extensive experience in the treatment of eating disorders, trauma, dissociative disorders, substance-related and addictive disorders. I have treated complex issues at the inpatient, residential, PHP, and IOP levels of care. I have worked as a primary therapist, clinical director, curriculum developer for the treatment of binge and emotional eating, and lead therapist. I take a values-based approach to remind humans they can be free from the constraints of negative self-talk and learn to live authentically. I incorporate somatic experiencing, DBT, CBT, ACT, EMDR, and mindfulness, to help clients gain access to their own capacity to heal and cope. My work is focused on a client-centered framework with the goal of co-creating a supportive container for healing and self-exploration. I use compassion-focused therapy and humor to help clients navigate the complex issues that have manifested in their eating disorders.

Madalyn is a Primary Therapist in Alsana’s vIOP program. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience practicing with adults, children, and adolescents in individual, group, couple, and family therapy sessions.

She has worked in a variety of professional settings outside Alsana, including private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, intensive outpatient programs addressing domestic violence anger management/parenting concerns, military bases, women’s health centers, academic settings, and hospitals.

Outside of eating disorders, she specialized in the areas of trauma, substance abuse, family/relational conflict, family of origin issues, and women’s issues. Madalyn is passionate about working with families who love someone with an eating disorder and have experience being the Family Program Coordinator at an inpatient addiction treatment center. While she has enjoyed the variety of knowledge she has gained from these experiences, she found the common denominator across all types of settings, and work that must be present for therapy to be effective is making sure that you feel understood, validated, and safe.

Madalyn is drawn to humanistic approaches that aim to find the good in all of us and build on our strengths. She also aims to be human herself and knows that at Alsana, you don’t have to recover alone.

Dr. Kat Barker is an associate licensed therapist in Alabama and Texas. She completed her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and her doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision at Auburn University. She has worked with clients with eating disorders for over three years in various settings. In her role at Alsana, Kat serves clients in the East United States in the Virtual PHP and IOP programs.

Kristen is an Associate Clinical Social Worker specializing in the treatment of eating disorders from a person-first, strengths-based perspective. With over 10 years in social services, she brings with her a wealth of experiences contributing to her work as a therapist. Kristen has devoted the last five years of her career to gaining experience in the field of eating disorders working at some of the most prominent clinics in the Los Angeles area.

Kristen operates from a values-based approach to help clients guide themselves towards a life that is free from cognitive dissonance and more centered around their authentic selves. She has expertise in treating comorbid trauma and substance use disorders. Kristen is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and uses this therapy and other trauma-informed approaches such as TF-CBT and a narrative approach to work towards detangling unhelpful or problematic cognitive patterns.

She also incorporates mindfulness, somatic work, and DBT to help patients access their own internal capacity to regulate and cope. Kristen understands the nuanced process that is required in the treatment of eating disorders. Working from a holistic, person-in-environment approach helps her to guide clients in their own process of self-determination. She believes that the value of the therapeutic alliance, working in harmony and compassion, inspires healing for those who are recovering. The goal, then, is that clients develop a sense of their own autonomy, individuality, and authentically empowered self.
