Catheryn Mcdermott

My communication style

I'm direct yet supportive. I won't sugarcoat things, but I'll be gentle in my delivery. I want our work to be a collaboration, so if you have questions or concerns, I encourage you to ask me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a deep passion for helping people. Growing up with a family member who has a chronic mental illness, I saw how differently he was treated. I went into this field to be a positive light and a nonjudgmental support for others.

My goals for you

We'll start by creating a treatment plan in our intake session. We'll update or change that plan as things unfold. If you feel there's something new to work on, we can add it to your existing plan.

Our first session

During the intake, I'll ask about your background, treatment history, current living situation, and vocation. These questions aren't out of judgment but rather exploration. They give me clarity about your life experiences and how they may have impacted you.
