Catherine Louise

My communication style

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment filled with unconditional positive self-regard and uplifting energy. Sometimes I pose questions for self-reflection/self-inquiry intended to stoke insight and awareness. Clients tend to report feeling more hopeful and optimistic throughout the therapy process.

My journey to mental healthcare

Initially, I came to the profession to help others who were going through painful experiences that I had known as a young adult. Once on my own healing journey, I came to understand the power and potential of the Healing Arts, which led to my professional studies in the field. Over time, I became especially drawn to Art & Somatic therapy.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process. I take my client's lead with establishing therapeutic goals, while introducing interventions matched with their particular issues. We check in regularly to assess if symptoms are improving or worsening and make adjustments as needed. Recommendations are made for things to do in between sessions.

Our first session

My desire is for clients to feel seen, safe, heard, and respected. I would also like them to feel hopeful about trusting me as a partner on their healing journey.
