Catherine Stern

My communication style

I am direct and gentle in my approach. I strive to create a sense of warmth and ease in my sessions, employing humor, honesty, reflection, and a lot of questions to help you identify strengths and question patterns that might be getting in the way of your leading a fuller and more meaningful life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love being a therapist! I feel honored that clients are willing to trust me with their most tender experiences. Making a genuine, empathic connection with another is deeply meaningful to me. Before becoming a therapist, I co-founded and co-directed Project Grace, an organization that supported mothers and families grieving the loss of a child.

My goals for you

It's important to set both specific goals and be open to what might arise in the process. We'll work together to address your concerns while remaining flexible to discoveries along the way.

Our first session

We'll spend our first session getting to know each other to see if we might be a good fit. I will give you the space to discuss what has brought you to therapy and what you are hoping to accomplish. I will follow your lead, and we will go at your pace.
