I can't say enough good things about Cat. She is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in her field, but she also possesses a genuine compassion and sweetness that make her stand out. From the very first session, I felt completely at ease and understood. Cat creates a warm and welcoming environment where I feel safe to express my thoughts and emotions without any judgment. Cat listens attentively and provides insightful feedback that has been key in my personal growth. Her genuine care and dedication go above and beyond, making me feel truly valued and supported. If you're looking for a therapist who is both professional and deeply caring, I highly recommend Cat. She has made a profound difference in my life.

Cat is a very special therapist, she is able to help her teen and adult clients with a variety of mental health issues. I have referred people to her for EMDR and they have found it incredibly helpful and healing. You would be lucky to have Cat as your therapist!

I have known Catherine for years now and I must say that she is an outstanding and effective therapist. Catherine does a great job of connecting with her clients on multiple levels and she goes above and beyond to make sure every individual gets what they need out of their sessions. If you are looking for therapy or counseling, I would highly recommend giving Catherine a call.

Had therapy sessions with Catherine for about a month. Started to notice that you're just a number to her; she's money hungry and finds any reason to make more $ off of you. Cancelled her service days in advance & still got charged. Payment only went through because she changed the name of the service. Sneaky move. Although she's a nice person, she didn't give me any new perspectives & I don't think she is qualified/does not have enough experience to give advice to people. Look somewhere else. Many more little red flags that would be too much to explain here.

I regret putting my trust into this person after 1.5 years.

I had to fire her because she would not follow up with a treatment after requesting it for a year and for not responding to my concerns after it was encouraged. Her unprofessionalism, engagement, and false advertisement left me appalled.
