Catherine Werlau

Hi, I'm Catherine and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am dedicated to supporting individuals of all ages living with anxiety, OCD, school avoidance, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, and other obstacles life brings your way. We will actively work together towards living life the way you want, with treatment individualized around your interests and personality. Additional areas of clinical specialities include supporting life transitions, stress management, family issues, ADHD, and Autism. I have experience providing therapeutic support to students, young professionals, clinicians, and caregivers.

My approach is person-centered, strengths-based and interwoven from various therapeutic approaches tailored to your needs and personality. We will take steps toward changing the way your brain and body respond to thoughts/the environment/your relationships, increase your self-confidence across life areas, and strengthen your sense of choice. I have a background in Expressive therapies and love to intertwine creativity into the process for added lightness.

You can expect to leave our first session with a better understanding of how and why your brain works the way it does and what we are going to do to establish new pathways. We will begin to collaborate on a plan for clarifying your goals and identifying steps towards achieving positive outcomes. Each session, we will continue expanding your world outside of emotion-based thinking and practice new skills to build confidence in living life as your best, whole self.
