Catherine Ann Musick-Vinyard

My communication style

I work to provide a non-judgmental and safe environment for clients to feel comfortable being themselves. My communication style is to listen more than talk in order to hear what clients need and want. I encourage clients to take charge of their sessions, but can redirect when needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had a passion for helping people. I felt very connected to the field of social work as a helping profession. I felt it was the best way I could help people to improve the quality of their lives through a focus on their mental health and finding fulfillment within themselves and in their relationships with others.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaboration between the client and therapist. I want to know what the client wants to be different about themselves and or their life at the end of therapy. I am there to provide input or assistance as needed in the process.

Our first session

The first session is about getting to know the client and gathering information about what brings them into therapy. It is also important for them to feel comfortable with me so we can begin to build trust and confidence in the therapeutic relationship. Clients are given the opportunity to express their concerns or fears and ask questions.
