Catherine Stansell

I have a Master's Degree in Counseling, Marriage, and Family from Phillips Graduate Institute.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from UCSB.

I typically work with clients who have a history of trauma, life transitions, relationship issues, and managing anxiety, The clients I work with are very motivated to make changes in their lives.

I worked with high-risk, traumatized, and abused youth for many years. I find practicing therapy very rewarding. Assisting my clients to work through life challenges and progress in their life journey is a privilege.

My therapeutic approach is to work together as a team. Building trust and communicating effectively with one another. The most common theoretical approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Therapy as a road map for meeting client therapy goals.

During the first session, building rapport, discussing client's concerns, and discussing client's desired therapeutic goals to work towards. Most importantly, if we are a good fit together to embrace the therapeutic journey together.
