Welcome

Hello and welcome to my website. I'm glad you're here. Thinking about reaching out to a therapist for help, particularly if it is for the first time, is not easy. Most of us have been taught that we are suppose to handle life's challenges and difficult feelings on our own, that reaching out to another for help is a sign of weakness. Personally, I disagree. In fact, I believe that reaching out to another is actually very much a sign of strength and an indication that you are ready to begin or to continue your healing process. Reaching out for help is a sign that you want to live a more fulfilling life.

Regardless of what you have been through, it is my belief that you are fundamentally well. We can work together to help you connect with this sense of well-being that is your birthright. So, before you proceed here, take a deep breath . . . and then complement yourself for taking this courageous first step to exploring what it might be like to have support and guidance from another as you embark upon your healing journey.

Please take your time exploring the information I provide here, explaining in more detail my philosophies and approaches to specific issues. Please also know that I consider you a unique individual and if you decide to work with me, together we will come up with a plan for counseling that feels right to you. Please call me directly if you have questions about psychotherapy and/or to set up a free ½ hour initial appointment.

Warmly,
Anne Cattarello, M.A.
