Cathy is a wonderful therapist. She really LISTENS and understands. I would highly recommend Cathy. I have talked to MANY therapists in the past and she is by far the BEST!

I have only met with Catherine Valentine once. I certainly did not expect to feel a connection to her during my first session. But I did. She understood my grief & helped me see a different way to look at a traumatic experience in a different light. I am grateful for that. I am looking forward to my next session with her.
