Our Therapists

 

Mission Statement

The mission of Catalyst Counseling and all our therapists is to be here for you—be present, compassionate, and attentive—and help you find, trust, and be yourself. We enjoy helping people who are curious, honest, and adventurous to clear their minds, problem-solve, strategize, and approach old issues in a new way.

To do this, we provided the following services:

Anxiety Treatment - A dynamic brain-body approach to help you manage stress, balance your priorities, and discover your innate worth. You can learn to love, forgive, and accept yourself with kindness and compassion and to feel happy and at peace with your life.

Couples Counseling - Therapy that seeks to help you understand your relationship on a deeper level, identifying your core issues. By improving your communication, we can help you find the clarity and perspective to increase intimacy and connect with your person.

Depression Treatment - An opportunity to see the possibilities that lie beyond your despair to help you regain your self-worth and achieve a more satisfying life. Therapy will give you the chance to get out of the cycle of distress. 

Family Therapy - Counseling with the goal to help family members understand their individual roles and create healthy relationships. You will gain insight into how your relationships impact each other and how to communicate better to work through your conflicts.

Grief Counseling - A chance to understand and process your loss, and give yourself permission to find new meaning in your grief. Our therapists can help you accept and appreciate your emotional experience, develop coping skills, and help you begin to heal.

Friendship Therapy - A unique type of counseling to help you repair and heal strained relationships with friends, coworkers, and peers. You can learn to nourish friendships and create the harmony and understanding that makes these relationships so meaningful.

Sports Counseling - Therapy specifically designed to help athletes and performers overcome mental hurdles, regain confidence, and enjoy the game again. In teamwork with our sports counselor, you get a chance to identify and tackle the source of your anxiety. 

Therapeutic Journaling - Both a science and an art, expressive writing may seem simple, but it can provide you with clarity and insight into your emotions. It also imparts emotional release and purification and can help you problem-solve to manage stress.

Trauma Therapy - Providing you a safe space to identify the source of your pain and regain emotional resilience and the ability to trust again. Our therapists can help you examine the experiences that shaped your life and heal from the memories of the past.
