Caitie Gutierrez is a mental health and chronic illness advocate and writer from Lenape Territory (New York) who has been living and working on Gadigal Land (Sydney) for the last 5 years. She has a background in music, psychology, and music therapy and creates content for those with lived experiences of mental and chronic illness. As a bi+, biracial, and bigender Nuyorican, Caitie draws from their own experiences of complex trauma to explore topics like mental health, chronic illness, queerness, and intergenerational trauma through writing and memes full of childhood nostalgia.
