LPC, 1 years of experience
New to Grow
Catherine Raymond, LPC, is a trauma-informed and affirming therapist dedicated to helping clients build resilience and lead more fulfilling lives. With experience working with diverse populations, Catherine enjoys working with individuals 15-99 who may be struggling with a variety of life concerns. Catherine's approach is founded on the idea that you are the expert of your own life. She provides a warm, non-judgmental, and safe space where you can engage in self-exploration, learn new skills, and work toward your life's goals. Her style integrates evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, IFS, Somatic therapies, and body-centered approaches, with a focus on self-compassion and empowerment.
In the first session, Catherine enjoys connecting with clients in meaningful ways. She spends time introducing clients to the therapy space and relationship, as well as seeks to gain relevant history, identifying individual goals.
Catherine firmly believes in the power of compassion and safety in the therapeutic relationship. Through expression of unconditional positive regard, client's feel the safety to explore and experiment with new ways of being and relating to ones self or the world.
The ideal clients come to therapy curious and eager. Whether they are working on identity, trauma, depression, or grief, Catherine enjoys working with client's who are eager to create change, engage in self exploration, and take radical responsibility over their healing journey.
I use EMDR because it is so effective and supporting clients in reclaiming power in their own lives. I utilize EMDR in conjunction with somatic, IFS, and mindfulness-based therapy to support client growth.
