Patients have highlighted my ability to hold compassion towards them and towards the people they have difficult relationships with (whether parents, kids, spouse, or friends) and this has helped them to find compassion towards them which leads to healthier relationships and boundaries.
I don't use cookie-cutter techniques because I understand that everyone has different strengths as well as needs. I like to be a team with my patient where they are the experts of their lives and I'm the expert in de-tangling and supporting them through difficult situations with empathy, compassion and when needed, techniques and psycho education. Patients can expect me to inquire why they have come to therapy, what happened and what their goals/expectations are. Then I will also want to know about their past to better understand how they have gotten to where they are, during this I will be highlighting strengths and needs.

I love working with busy professionals, parents, and young adults trying to navigate their way through life successes and challenges.
I have experience in supporting adults through various life stage transitions and business coaching. I seek to learn what is important to you and what you want to achieve by understanding how your behaviors are helping or limiting your progress. I use CBT, DBT, and Lumina Spark to identify healthy and unhealthy behaviors and thinking patterns.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same cycles, even though you’ve worked hard to change? Clients come to me feeling the distance between the life they have and the life they want, weighed down by past experiences that haven't quite healed or relationship patterns that feel impossible to break. Whether you are navigating individual trauma or a partnership or family relationship that feels disconnected, you deserve a space where you don’t have to perform or hold back. My approach is warm, empowering, and grounded in the belief that nothing is too heavy or shocking for us to work through together.

My sessions are designed to address the needs of each unique client, including those who are neurodivergent.

You may be used to holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. Maybe you are navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, major life changes, or the pressure of always needing to be “fine.” Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what is happening, and start feeling more grounded and in control.

I have years of experience treating trauma, parenting, sexual issues (desire, dysfunction, etc), and faith crisis or expansion (including mixed faith marriage).
You're responsible (maybe too responsible!) and looking for relief and balance. Self-help books and tips only take you so far, and somehow you keep running into the same unhealthy patterns. You want to thrive, not just survive! I specialize in helping competent but exhausted people find greater peace through getting to the deeper, often hidden roots, of why you still feel stuck. I love using mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and experiential/trauma-informed approaches like IFS (parts work) and EMDR to help individuals move past outdated coping mechanisms. For couples, EFT and attachment work increase connection and love.

Hello fellow veterans! My name is Cathryn McHenry and I am a trauma-informed marriage and family therapist. Knowing what you want and knowing how to get it, are two very different things, and some obstacles can seem impossible to conquer on your own. That's when having a trail guide is most valuable. After establishing a core foundation of trust and respect, we can scope out that landscape together and create a plan. When life becomes difficult to navigate, I’m here to walk with you.
