Cathryn has such a gentle, non judgmental way of speaking to me. I feel so much better when I am done with my sessions. I feel heard and respected

I love Cathryn! It’s been hard for me to find a good therapist in the past, I never got along well with them. But she is really good about working through things and not making you feel dumb about thoughts and feelings you have that don’t make sense.

Wonderful woman to speak with, she does very well with connecting and making sure you know you are human. She also is wonderful at recognizing that certain things don’t work for everyone.
