Welcome! My name is Catherine Jaeger, LMFT and I have been practicing in California as a licensed therapist for over 17 years. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling from Cal State Fullerton and have dedicated my work to helping young adults step into a brighter, more hopeful future. I understand the unique challenges this stage of life can bring—from navigating relationships to making big life decisions—and I’m here to offer guidance, support, and encouragement every step of the way.

I have extensive experience working with young adults and excel at building genuine connections by meeting them exactly where they are.

I understand the unique challenges this stage of life can bring—from navigating relationships to making big life decisions—and I’m here to offer guidance, support, and encouragement every step of the way.

First session

In our first session, I will go over a brief introduction and then begin exploring the concerns you would like to addresss. As we build rapport I will begin to establish a specific treatment plan to help with those specific challenges.

Strengths

I have extensive experience working with young adults and excel at building genuine connections by meeting them exactly where they are. This approach allows me to provide meaningful support as they navigate life’s many challenges and transitions.

Ideal clients

I specialize in helping young adults navigate the challenges of college and early career life. This period can be overwhelming due to the numerous life decisions they face, including academic and career choices, relationship dynamics, and personal development.

Treatment methods

Humanistic

I take a compassionate, whole-person approach to care, meeting clients where they are and supporting them in every stage of their journey. By focusing on more than just symptoms, I strive to create a safe, empathetic space where healing and growth can take root.

Relational

I understand the complexity of human relationships and work with clients to navigate challenges with empathy and practical strategies. By honoring the uniqueness of each relationship, I help clients improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and build stronger, more fulfilling connections.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Every individual is unique and I am motivated to seek an individuals motivation and sense of self-worth to guide them towards their best self.

My first session with Catherine was awesome. I felt she understood me right away. She comes off very warm and inviting to talk to, and seems genuinely interested in what I had to say. She asks great questions, and did not make me feel rushed through session. I feel confident in working with her in getting the help I need.

Our first session was jam packed with a lot to address. Catherine did a good job helping me focus on one thing at a time without being too strict. She did a great job explaining what is happening with me and helped me understand that it’s normal and understandable. I’m looking forward to working with her and making progress.
