Catherine Stirling, LCSWA

Welcome! If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, adjusting to big life changes, or difficulties with body image or eating—you are not alone. Therapy can be a space to explore what you’re going through and start finding ways to feel more grounded and supported.

I am committed to creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you—your goals, your values, and your priorities. Whether you’re looking to build coping skills, improve self-understanding, or navigate a difficult season, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and responsive to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT and Narrative Therapy to support growth, resilience, and meaningful change in your day-to-day life.

I strive to create a warm and reflective space where you can show up just as you are. Taking the first step can feel like a lot—but it can also be the beginning of something wonderful. I look forward to working with you!
