Welcome to Better Help. I commend you for taking a significant step in achieving wellness and your personal goals. Before we begin our work together, I wanted to provide you with some information about myself. My name is Kathrina Cauckwell-Rafferty and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the beautiful state of California. My primary work over the last few years has been in substance use disorders and this has given me ample experience in helping people develop better coping skills, in assisting people to work through previous traumas, repair relationships and find much needed sources of support. I have also worked in specialty programs to provide therapy for youth and their families as well as domestic violence and sexual abuse survivors. I understand it can be challenging to reach out for help or implement change in our lives and behavior. It is my professional goal to provide my clients with the best care possible. I prioritize establishing a safe, non-judgmental space for each person I work with. I want to work with each patient to establish unique goals and treatment plans. I offer messaging, live chat, phone sessions and video sessions. I check messages twice daily, seven days a week. My calendar reflects my standard availability; however, I may have additional time so message me if you have any outside requests. Looking forward to working with you. Kathrina

About Dr Cynthia Before I went to school to become a psychotherapist, I was a teacher of Inner Guidance. I also taught the curriculum to become a teacher of Inner Guidance. We all have powerful internal senses that we tend to neglect: intuition, insight, instinct, imagination and deeper intelligence that grows sharper the more we use it. Too often, our personal growth becomes confined at the surface of ourselves by the effects of childhood trauma and how we’re raised. Sometimes we don’t know there is so much more to us. Once we develop accurate self-knowledge and learn what part of us is doing our thinking and making our decisions, then self mastery is within reach. I help people unravel their personal predicaments and develop self mastery. Once we become more greatly empowered - we are equipped to know what we want in life and how to manifest it. I received my CA license (lmft2980) in 1992, received my PhD in psychology in 1996. I wrote/published a book, “The Care and Feeding of Perfectionists “, 1998. Often we spot perfectionism in others but cannot recognize it ourselves. Many of us believe the Perfectionist is the best part of us, when really, it prevents us from liking ourselves. Each of us have at least 2 types of perfectionism (9 types in my book). If not neutralized, it blocks our growth by convincing us that we are not good enough. I help people replace perfectionism with a free internal Gift. The inner drive toward Excellence- which springs from the Self - is a beautiful world away from the pain of perfectionism- which is a push from a wounded ego. Once we connect to our Inner Self, we see ourselves and our world as it really is. Then life, healing and accomplishments can become wondrous easy. Methods I use besides talk therapy: Identifying and healing trauma Conscious breathing Dream analysis Focused meditation Inner Guidance Inner Child work The necessity for humor. EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprogramming.) FLASH (offshoot of EMDR) Interactive hypnotherapy Developing self knowledge Dismantling perfectionism Becoming present and living in the moment Accepting personal power Goal setting Couples Counseling

The great poet and philosopher Kahlil Gibran once wrote, “out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” Some of the scars Kahlil refers to are visible, while still, others are under the surface. These scars teach us, build resiliency, and make us more compassionate about the struggles and scars of others. As a human who has suffered and as a therapist who has tirelessly fought to reclaim lives brought asunder by suffering, I want to take a journey with my clients to find what was lost, rebuild what has been ravaged, and find a path of strength and compassion to walk with my clients. Within the confines of a calm, caring, and nonjudgmental framework, kindness, compassion, and supportive plans become the goals for our experience in growing our therapeutic alliance. You can begin to develop ways to meet the challenges you have identified in your life. With my assistance, we can work together to identify positive outcomes for many issues that have perplexed you, put barriers in your way, and impede progress while also identifying how to incorporate your many strengths, rich history, and the lessons learned from trauma and joyful events alike. We will learn from each other on this path. With age comes wisdom, and with my years of life experiences, 13 years invested in honing my therapeutic chops, and the education that was garnered later in life than most, it provides me with the tools necessary to assist others in finding their way through the complexities that life has dealt them. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, past trauma, addiction, abandonment issues, or just the fallout from the many events, choices, and tragedies that have brought you to seek help, we can find a way to a better, more peaceful state of being. Lao Tzu said, “The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.” Let the journey begin.
