It’s a Pleasure to Meet You
Hi, I’m Cathe and I believe in our ability to break generational traumas, to heal from wounds inflicted by those who didn’t know how or didn’t have the capacity to show up for us; and to learn how to show up for ourselves. Throughout the years I’ve worked with individual who struggled with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and provided counseling services to military services member and their families while deployed overseas. I witnessed the significant impact that relationships can have on your overall wellbeing. From my own personal experience; as I worked to unlearn what was no longer serving me and to rediscover my worth, I was presented with how fundamentally transformative this process can be. It’s led me to learn how to live with greater peace, to create and sustain connections and to feel safe and secure in love. It’s not an easy process nor is it a painless journey but it’s worth it.
Credentials
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I earned my Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling with specializations in Substance Abuse and Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for the state of Florida and territory of Guam, a board certified Telemental Health Provider and a Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional.
I am also a Qualified Clinical Supervisor which allows me to provide supervision to registered interns for Mental Health Counseling within the state of Florida.
Methods
Therapeutic Approach
I have 12 years of professional experience as a therapist. I’ve had the pleasure of working with a diverse and international population. This has led me to develop a more Eclectic Therapeutic style which is a more individualized approach. There’s no real “One Size Fits All” approach when it comes to people and how we cope with challenges. What may work for one may not work for another. Therefore, I carefully create an intentional, individualized treatment plan for each person and /or couple based on their unique needs. I use multiple techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Gottman Methods for Couples, Trauma-Informed Care, Emotion-Focused, Person-Centered, Strength-Based and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
This approach has been helpful if you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, coping and adjustment difficulties and relationship challenges.
Schedule Free Consultation
Online Therapy (Teletherapy) provides you with the opportunity to receive services within the comfort of your own space, it cuts down on cost of travel and allows a bit of flexibility for those with full schedules. Through this method I hope to be able to help make therapeutic services more accessible.
I would love to be a part of this journey with you. Please feel free to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
