Cate Dagilas
Hi, I’m Cate! —a therapist, deep listener, dog lover, plant hoarder and firm believer that healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. My practice is rooted in compassion, humor, and the radical idea that you’re allowed to put yourself first without feeling guilty about it. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, postpartum life, work/life balance, and the messy magic of figuring out who they are when they stop living for everyone else. Whether you're going through a major life shift or struggling to say "no" without a 4-paragraph explanation, you're in the right place.

First session
We’ll start with introductions, and I would like to get to know the basics about why you are seeking therapy. I also like to talk about previous therapy history (if any) and what qualities you prefer in a new therapist. I really want you to feel like you're benefiting from treatment!
Strengths
I’m empathetic and a heck of a good listener! I love to provide feedback, provided that is what the client wants. I enjoy listening to others’ stories and finding different ways to help people achieve their goals. I am also a problem solver who enjoys helping others work through challenges, gain new perspectives, and discover solutions that feel right for them. I believe that everyone has the ability to grow and change, even when they struggle to see it in themselves.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready to better understand themselves, work through life’s challenges, and discover their own potential. You may be feeling stuck, struggling with self-doubt, navigating a life transition, or simply wanting to feel more connected to who you are. I enjoy working with people who are open to exploring their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space. I believe that sometimes we all need someone who will truly listen, offer a different perspective when needed, and help us find our own way forward. You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin therapy.
