Catherine Stoddard

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

I became a therapist because I have always been fascinated by the resilience of the human spirit and desire for personal growth. If you are working through a challenge or setback, we will talk through what happened without judgment and identify what could help you keep going.

My goals for you

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

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It is normal to feel nervous and therapy is a process we will build together over time. We will move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
