About Us

Meet the Board

CCDS is guided by a small, values-driven Board of Directors made up of three leaders in the mental health field. With decades of combined experience across clinical practice, supervision, education, and systems-level work, our board helps ensure CCDS stays grounded in ethical stewardship, cultural humility, and our mission: making clinical training and supervision more just, reflective, and sustainable.

Dr. Margaret Arnd-Caddigan M.A., M.S.W., PhD, LCSW

Dr. Margaret Arnd-Caddigan has a master’s degree in religious studies as well as a master’s and a doctorate in social work. She is a retired Associate Professor from East Carolina University School of Social Work, where her focus was on clinical practice. To that end, she taught, researched, and conducted clinical practice. Since 2013, she has served as the director of the Greenville Psychoanalytic Study Group. Dr. Arnd-Caddigan is the author of over 25 articles, primarily published in peer-reviewed academic journals. She is also the sole author of three books and the co-author of one book. Near the end of her academic career, Dr. Arnd-Caddigan turned her research and practice toward her early education, studying the relationship between spiritual and clinical issues. She designed and conducted research on the role of intuition in clinical practice and co-authored the findings from that study (Intuition in Psychotherapy: From Research to Practice by Stickle and Arnd-Caddigan; Intuition in Therapeutic Practice: A Mind-Centered Depth Approach for Healing by Arnd-Caddigan). She has also researched clinical approaches to working with individuals who have had paranormal experiences (Embracing Paranormal Experiences: A Guide for Experiencers and Their Helpers by Arnd-Caddigan). She wrote a theoretical book on holistic psychotherapy wherein spiritual issues are incorporated into clinical practice (Holistic Psychotherapy from a Post-Materialist Perspective by Arnd-Caddigan). She is currently teaching a course in Esotericism to therapists who integrate alternative and complimentary practices into their clinical work. Dr. Arnd-Caddigan continues to explore the healing power of spiritual practices in her retirement, including spiritual methods to heal the effects of spiritual and religious trauma and abuse. Much of Dr. Arnd-Caddigan’s clinical theory is discussed on the podcast for which she is co-host: Finding Our Minds. She has also appeared as a guest on several spiritually oriented podcasts, where she explores the relationship between spirituality and clinical work.

CEO/Founder
Dr. Priscila A. Llamosa
DSW, MSW, LCSW, RYT

Dr. Priscila Llamosa is a social work professor, author, and clinical supervisor specializing in social justice–informed clinical supervision. With over a decade of experience in practice, teaching, and supervision, she is committed to helping students, clinicians, and organizations provide care that is relational, ethical, and equity-centered. Her work is grounded in a social constructionist and relational lens, which shapes how she designs supervision, training, and consultation; always with an emphasis on collaboration, critical reflection, and cultural humility. Dr. Llamosa holds a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from East Carolina University, where she specialized in clinical social work and trauma-informed care. She has also completed a 300-hour Subtle Yoga® teacher training and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction training at Duke University, further informing her holistic approach to clinical practice and supervision. In addition to leading CCDS, Dr. Llamosa is a professor of social work and a clinical supervisor at Thrivemind Counseling and Wellness in Jacksonville, North Carolina, where she and her team provide low-cost and pro-bono counseling services. She is a frequent presenter at national and international conferences and offers training and consultation to agencies and organizations on social work education, clinical supervision, trauma-informed care, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. When she is not teaching or supervising, you can find her spending time with her family and dogs, tending to her many houseplants, practicing yoga, traveling, or recharging in nature.
