What is a Cairn?

The term Cairn is Gaelic, meaning “heap of stones.” These rock-stacks are found throughout history often serving as guideposts or waypoints. Cairns are used as trail-markers to aid travelers in finding their way. We at Cairn Counseling seek to be trail-markers for the individuals we serve in their journey to find healing, stability, and wholeness.

About

Meet the Team

---- Moira McConnell, LPC ---- *Moira is accepting new clients* I’m honored to support individuals on their personal journeys by creating a space of safety, connection, and healing. I believe therapy—like life—is about stepping beyond our comfort zones and embracing growth. I value authentic connection, the courage to be vulnerable, and the exploration of our inner world as we move toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment. My practice is trauma-informed and incorporates expressive and experiential techniques. I enjoy using art, music, and nature to encourage creativity, self-expression, and personal insight. I have a special interest in working with the perinatal mental health population, supporting individuals through the emotional complexities of pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood. I also work with law enforcement, first responders, and veterans, offering a supportive space to process trauma, stress, and the unique challenges of these roles. As human beings, we are natural storytellers. Through my experience in a variety of therapeutic settings, I’ve developed deep respect for each person’s unique story. When you step into the room with me, I hold space for you to be fully seen and heard—just as you are. ---- Brittany Stratton, LCSW ---- *Brittany is accepting new clients* You don’t have to wait for your life to feel 'perfect' before you start feeling better. With over a decade of experience, I help individuals stop just surviving the storm and start finding their footing again. My approach is deeply human and trauma-informed, blending the structured support of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) with the physiological insights of Polyvagal Theory. Together, we’ll work to understand your nervous system, navigating 'big feelings' by moving from a state of survival back into a state of safety and connection. In our sessions, we go beyond traditional talk therapy. By integrating expressive art, mindfulness, and journaling, we work to uncover your inherent strengths and build a toolkit for the real world. I am dedicated to providing a space where your voice is heard and your journey is honored.
