Catherine Paneque

I work with children 5+, adolescents and adults who deal with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and past traumatic experiences. My goal is to support and empower my clients to improve their overall well-being.

I want my clients to feel more grounded and confident in their ability to manage stressors as they come and regulate their emotions consistently and effectively.

I began working in mental health as an intern in 2022. I have worked with a variety of diagnosis and functioning levels in group and individual therapy settings. I love connecting with people and believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to continuous progress in therapy. I personally continue to find more inner peace through yoga, journaling, reading, relaxing with my cat, and spending time on the beach.

Using a holistic, person-centered approach I create a safe, non-judgmental space to process and gain insight on how mental, emotional, and environmental factors intersect and can support one's well-being. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work with clients to identify and change unhealthy thought patterns that often lead to us feeling stuck. As well as play and art therapy to remind clients of all ages that we need play, silliness, and joy in our lives.

I begin by simply getting to know you, your interests, and what brought you to the session. I'll explain what you can expect from ongoing sessions, confidentiality including it's limits, and begin to set goals and intentions for us to work on. Feel free to ask me any questions during this process.
