Every chapter has prepared me to sit with people in theirs.
I’m Cacey Klein. I believe people heal when they are deeply known and safely connected. I’m completing my master’s through the Townsend Institute at Concordia University Irvine and preparing for clinical internship.

A life moving toward counseling
The clinical framework is new. The calling is not.
Years in human resources, organizational leadership, international nonprofit work, and adoptive parenting taught me to stay present in complex stories.
Those experiences deepened my respect for attachment, family systems, cultural humility, advocacy, and the courage it takes to keep showing up in difficult seasons. Graduate study is giving language, theory, and clinical discipline to work my life has quietly prepared me to do.

A safe relationship can become a place to tell the truth and try something new.
