Therapists in Fort Wayne, IN

I help people who are struggling at work, who feel like work must be easier for everyone else, and kids and other students of all ages who have ADHD or trouble learning. I also help middle-aged people with memory problems who want to prevent dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. My other main focus areas are traumatic brain injury, post-concussion syndrome, Bell's Palsy, and panic attacks. I have had amazing results. I understand that this sounds too good to be true - that's what I thought at first, too. Call if you would like an appointment for a free consultation.

Catherine specializes in helping clients work through difficult times and provides the strategies and techniques necessary for empowerment as well as making and maintaining positive changes. Catherine works with children, teenagers, and adults and often addresses anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, adjustment issues, relational and family challenges, confidence, sexuality issues and substance abuse problems. Each person is unique and therapy must be tailored to meet their specific needs and goals.

As a therapist, I partner with the person I am working with and we collaboratively explore options that may fit your needs and bring you where you want to be, and how you want to be in your life. I am available for TeleHealth Sessions throughout Colorado. If you are wanting to tackle issues such as Addiction, Codependency, Trauma, Sexuality, Unmanageable Stress and Anxiety, Gambling, ADD/ADHD, Feeling Intimidated by a Life Transition ("What is next?") or Feeling Stuck and wanting to make Personal or Career Changes we may want to meet. I use Brainspotting, talk therapies, and a variety of other treatment methods like CBT, MI, & DBT.

My passions lie with individuals that suffer from PTSD and the effects of trauma. Once you identify the root cause of your symptoms, which can range from depression, panic and anxiety, nightmares or insomnia, even chronic health problems, you can truly begin to heal and grow. I tend to utilize a lot of CBT and DBT interventions and I do like to assign tasks for you to practice between sessions. Although these are serious issues, I believe in my heart that a sense of humor is absolutely vital to survival!

Do you feel disengaged or dissatisfied with life? Do you struggle with caring for yourself while taking care of others, pushing your needs to the side. Do you feel overwhelmed, wondering how long you can keep up with being the one who “keeps it all together.” Are you a high achiever who feels the weight of loneliness despite reaching remarkable milestones? These roles and cycles you find yourself in don’t have to be permanent. I want to help you find the harmony between career, roles and personal fulfillment. Therapy can bring a curiosity and personal practice that helps you feel grounded in a sense of self, agency and self-trust.

Relationship TRAUMA? I primarily work with clients who have concerns of past childhood trauma, relationship trauma or religious trauma, which often cause struggles of depression, anxiety, toxic relationships, or relationship struggles, parenting problems, people pleasing, anger management difficulties, career challenges and adjusting to major life changes. I am SOGIE Affirmative and sex positive in my treatment. I am non-judgmental, direct, and empowering in my counseling style. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I have been involved in therapy for almost twenty years working in areas of criminal justice, social services, mental health, welfare and addiction treatment. I have enjoyed working with all age clients-each having different challenges. Although I enjoy working with all clients, areas of specialization: Adolescent behavioral issues, gambling and addictive behaviors, family and marriage counseling. I encourge clients to work on two main objectives: Self Empowerment and Acceptance of who they choose to be. I do not judge a person because of their concerns, I try to help them learn the tools to avoid future problems.

Reaching out for help is an important step toward making positive change in your life. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one where I help you help yourself along the path of change. I have been working in the mental health field since 2003 and work with children, adolescents, and adults. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

A client who desires to accept partnership and engage in being open to change is the most ideal client. I prefer to work with adults and older adolescents struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I have a vast amount of experience working in the field of trauma. Due to my experience working in community mental health, I also work well with those with intense mental health and substance abuse treatment needs. I have worked both inpatient and outpatient experiences, resulting in my flexibility to help stabilize in a crisis and to work with individuals at any level.

I'm looking forward to meeting you, hearing your story, and helping you find healing. Years of education and experience have afforded me the wisdom and ability to help you understand the mental distress you are experiencing, and then to collaborate and create the most effective treatment plan possible. In addition to being a counselor, I am a business woman, a wife of 36 years, a mother of 4 adult children, and a grandmother to many:) I understand that the struggles we all face are personal and often profound. My goal is to create an atmosphere that provides my clients comfort, care, Christianity, and compassion.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and taking that first step. A little about me: I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Writing Exposure Therapy (WET), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for individuals, and have utilized Solution-Focused Brief Therapy for couples. If you prefer a Biblical approach, I am comfortable with Christian counseling as well. Finally, if you have experienced a trauma that you need help in healing, yet do not wish to talk about it in deep detail, ART and WET can be utilized to minimize the re-telling of your painful history. Whatever it is that brought you here, I'd be honored to help.

Everyone needs a space where they feel their thoughts and feelings matter. I aim to create a space where people can explore what's on their mind without fear of judgment. I’m experienced with EMDR and Internal Family Systems informed care, which are powerful approaches that help people to process trauma and become a wiser, more balanced version of themselves. I specialize in treating PTSD, issues with dissociation, LGBTQ+, and anxiety/depression. I also enjoy working with addictions or those who are in recovery from addictions, as well as with children and teens.

Asking for help is the hardest part. I commend you for taking that step! You are not alone. I am here to support you in your journey to understand and learn how to manage your struggles, whatever they may be. My specialty areas include PTSD, stress management, eating disorders, substance abuse, behavioral problems, and family conflict just to name a few. Overall, whatever you are struggling with, together, we can identify the core problems and come up with the best ways to work through those. I offer online and in person sessions, 7 days a week, both day and evening sessions. Email or call me to get started today!

Life can be difficult and messy at times. It can feel like we are up against insurmountable barriers. You and I will work together to understand how learning to cultivate awareness and tenderness in your life can guide you to a path of growth, healing, and exploration. Through our time together, we will focus on moving toward what really matters to you in life and understand how to spend less time feeling stuck or adrift. There are many ways of doing psychotherapy but we will come together to tailor an approach to improve your quality of life for you that emphasizes ways to manage the ups and downs with greater ease.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my profile. First and foremost, I am so glad you decided to take the leap into the world of self-love and wellbeing! I am a social worker by trade, but prefer to refer to myself as a healer as that's my approach to care - to help you heal from the experiences that continue to bother you. I meet my clients where they're currently at, and work with them integratively through their mind, body and soul to achieve overall wellbeing. My treatment approach is relaxed, realistic, and conversational while encouraging you to achieve your goals and potential.

I am not able to accept new clients at this time. Life can hand us struggles, losses and challenges. It takes courage to recognize when staying stagnant is more detrimental than facing our fear of change. Making changes requires work and moving toward hope can be difficult; but we do not do it alone. The decision to begin therapy is courageous and begins a process of not only trusting yourself, but also your therapist. It is my hope to earn the trust of my clients.
