Hi, I’m Caroline Beckman! I’m a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern currently studying at Eastern Illinois University. I’ve had the privilege of being part of the Wright Choice Counseling team for almost two years, serving as an administrative assistant. During that time, I developed a deep appreciation for the care and intention behind this work, and I’m excited to now step into my role as an intern and continue supporting this community!

I specialize in working with children and adolescents, utilizing a play-based and person-centered approach to create a warm, welcoming space where they can explore their emotions and feel understood. I value involving caregivers in the therapeutic process, as collaboration and connection are essential for fostering lasting growth.

Creating a nonjudgmental and understanding environment is central to my work, grounded in the belief that we are all doing the best we can with the circumstances we’ve been given. My hope is to be a steady and encouraging presence for children and adolescents as they navigate challenges, knowing they do not have to do it alone.
