Catherine Saldana

My communication style

I am warm and enthusiastic. I may remind you of your grandmother and your favorite teacher. Occasionally in our confidential talks, you'll hear of my own struggles and mistakes, and you'll know you are not alone.

My journey to mental healthcare

I care about people and understand that when you're hurting, you can grow through the pain and find strength in difficult circumstances. I've grown through suffering and know that an active, listening ear combined with gentle guidance can make all the difference.

My goals for you

Collaborative goal setting helps you identify and work toward changes in your life. You take the lead in identifying priorities, and together we brainstorm specifics, measurements, achievability, relevance, and time factors. Goals are flexible and meant to be celebrated in small successes.

Our first session

I'll ask questions to understand the challenges you're facing, your history, strengths, and resilience factors. We'll talk about your preferences for treatment length, therapy methods, and your comfort with homework.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
