Cathy Foster

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path into mental health counseling was driven by lived experiences. As a parent navigating an eating disorder and learning disabilities with my children, I saw firsthand the lack of accessible services in rural communities. We had to travel extensively just to find care. That gap led me to become a counselor for both children and adults.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be.

Our first session

In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and understanding what's bringing you in. It's very normal to feel nervous starting therapy. We'll build this process together over time, moving at a pace that feels right for you, and I'll be here to guide and support you throughout.
