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.

Cathy has been a tremendous therapist for me these past few months. She is easy to talk to and is an active listener. She challenges my thoughts and ideas in a positive way and I always feel that she has my best interest at heart. She has a flexible schedule and responds quickly to messages. I’m very grateful for my therapy experience with Cathy.
