Cathy has been my therapist for almost two years now and I am very satisfied with our sessions. She makes herself available to return messages, work around my schedule, and starts sessions on time. She's a great listener and very empathetic. I appreciate her thoughtful responses and advice.

Catherine is always hearing what I have to say. She is supportive and asks questions when she doesn’t understand what I’m trying to say. She allows me time to process my reviews that I have and gives me worksheets that really do help with what I currently going through.
