Cathy Stout
You are seeking, that is what brought you here. Sometimes that may be a single event, a crisis, a trauma, or a series of events that have you weary. Life can bring us to a place where we need to do things differently and can't quite sort out what that looks like. My experiences working with community mental health, private practice, trauma, crisis, and critical incidents have equipped me understand how difficult challenges can be for individuals and families.
Each session will be uniquely tailored to provide insight, build tools and skills, and resolve internal barriers that may be holding you back.
My experience as a Social Worker provides the educational platform to help you explore all of the systems that influence your life. I believe my kind yet practical approach to counseling offers an opportunity for hope and change.
First session
The first session is a meet and greet. While we discuss your goals and develop an action plan. The more I know about you, what brought you to therapy and the folks around you, the more strategic we can be.
Strengths
Listening is one of my greatest strengths. I am skilled at assisting patients to build resilience, resistance, and endurance to stress. I have had success assisting patients to resolve trauma(s) and navigate critical incidents. I understand the values and language of emergency service workers and military personnel.
Ideal clients
Helping professionals; schoolteachers, mental health providers, fire, police, EMS. Clients experiencing grief, loss, anxiety, and the ill effects of trauma or adverse events.
