If you're considering therapy, it may be because you've reached a point where holding everything together isn't working the way it used to. You may be successful, capable, and deeply caring, yet exhausted from overthinking, anticipating everyone else's needs, and carrying so much responsibility. You might struggle to ask for help, feel guilty setting boundaries, or find yourself repeating relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen. Many of the women I work with are navigating motherhood, healing a mother wound, or untangling the lasting effects of emotional neglect, criticism, or inconsistent caregiving.

I'm Shaelyn Cataldo, a therapist specializing in trauma, attachment, motherhood, and the patterns that develop when we learn early on to prioritize others over ourselves. My work helps women understand how past experiences continue to shape their nervous system, relationships, and sense of self so they can begin to trust themselves again.

My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, and IFS-informed parts work. In our first sessions, we focus on understanding what feels stuck and building safety before moving into deeper work. The goal isn't simply insight, but helping change feel embodied, steady, and lasting.

I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, and IFS-informed parts work in my practice. In our first sessions, we clarify what feels stuck and build safety before moving into deeper work. EMDR helps process distressing experiences, while somatic and parts work increase regulation and self-understanding so change feels steady and lasting.
