Caiti Crum, LMFT, CT

Caiti Crum is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the Vice President of Therapy at Foresight Mental Health and loves what she gets to do every day to improve people’s access to high-quality mental healthcare. Caiti has had the good fortune of working with a diverse community of clients during her tenure as a therapist, particularly young people and their families. Caiti taught middle and high school students in Northern California public schools for several years, eventually shifting to pursuing a career in therapy in order to more directly address the needs that young people presented with en masse in the classroom. Her first experiences as a therapist involved working with young people in crisis at an inpatient facility in San Francisco, outpatient individual and family therapy through a high school and clinic, and working with transition age youth, age 15-25, seeking housing and resources in Alameda County. Caiti has had the privilege of working with and starting programs aimed to support people coping with severe mental illness, with the objective of reducing crisis hospitalization and incarceration. While her work as a director for these specialty mental health care programs often meant little time for direct service with clients, she had a small private practice for ten years, providing therapy for people coping with grief and loss. She is the proud momma of a 12 year old son and is preparing for her dissertation in Anthropology and Social Change.
