My work with clients for over 29 years has allowed me to be part of a special journey with each person, couple, and family. My experience in serving as a psychotherapist, with multiple ages, socioeconomic, and culturally diverse clients has allowed me to learn how clients have needs and life goals, which are part of their life journey. I work with clients to identify who is writing their story in positive and adverse ways, which causes them to be 'stuck', wounded, or lost. During the therapy process, we explore skills and/or deep healing to assist them in moving toward healthier experiences, relationships, and living with purpose.

Hi there, I’m Catherine! My name is Catherine Spears, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Visalia, California, and work with clients statewide via telehealth.

I am a California licensed psychologist with over four decades of experience. I specialize in anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and relationship issues. Most of my work is with couples and I have had extensive education, training and experience. To date I have worked with over a thousand couples. My work is with relationships that I work with couples, individuals, all ethnicities and cultures, and couples gay and straight. I work with premarital counseling, infidelity, divorce prevention, and couples who simply want more satisfaction in their relationship.

As an LMFT, my therapeutic approach is one that can help you understand how individual problems can, at times, be connected to past and current social experiences. I have found success working with individuals interested in diving deeper into their thought patterns and exploring how their early life experiences play a role in the development of their current self. We would work well together if you are interested in addressing relationship difficulties, trauma, generational and cultural pressures, anxiety, and depression.

Is your relationship feeling strained? Are communication breakdowns and intimacy issues leaving you feeling disconnected? Are you looking to rediscover love and connection with your partner? Do you feel like you are reaching out to your partner for love and comfort, only to feel like you are hitting a brick wall that leaves you feeling invisible? It is normal to go through phases in a relationship where you experience distress. Communication and intimacy are an ongoing process that needs to be nurtured, but life and adulting can zap you of the energy required to nurture it. Couple's therapy can help provide the roadmap.

Therapy is a safe space that can bring about self-discovery and healing. I take an inclusive approach in my work, where I understand how intersections of culture, sexuality, gender, spirituality, family, environment, and relationships shape our identity and how we experience the world.

You will learn skills necessary to embrace the full range of your thoughts and emotions, and also incorporate changes that align with your values.
