Catherine Hausman

My communication style

I take a gentle yet firm approach in my manner - I will maintain an unconditional positive regard toward you, embracing diversity and your own unique perspective. Yet, I believe good therapy is not necessarily easy, and I will challenge you at times to examine new understandings, try new approaches, and maintain practices.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I noticed the role that trauma plays in people's lives- painful experiences tend to get in the way of living fulfilling lives, such as in careers, relationships, and living in line with our values. I find the process of helping people heal and find a new purpose in life to be so rewarding.

My goals for you

My therapy approach involves creating an alliance where you (the client) bring your own experience, emotions, and strengths, and I bring my professional experience to the table, and together we work toward improving your symptoms and building resilience. To do this, we will set tangible goals and work towards these in each session.

Our first session

It takes courage to reach out to a new therapist, and establishing trust is critical to your potential to benefit. In the initial session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, current symptoms, background, and mental health history. We will explore your goals and how we can work together to accomplish them.
