Cat is always there and always helps. I’ve never been good at showing up but for almost a year now I have every week. Thank you

Cathryn is an amazing therapist. I have had therapy with her for the past 1.5 years and I am enormously thankful for her support through hard times. Cathryn understands me well, she is a great listener with a sense of humor, and she provides different techniques and different resources but on the other hand, these instruments are not overwhelming and easy to use and most importantly on point and effective. Cathryn always has the right words to say and great advice to give.
I am grateful to find her on this platform.

Amazing therapist. She really listens and knows what my main point is when I ramble on and sometimes knows my point when I don't know it. She gives actionable advice each week and is so pleasant, non-judgmental, and fun. Highly recommend
