I grew up in large family in rural America. One clear memory I have of being young was being perched on stool and respectfully listening when neighbor women would come over to our house for coffee to talk with my Mother about their children, relationships and life in general and how they were getting through their struggles and finding joy in their lives.
If the memory of a traumatic event is causing you irreconcilable grief or stress, trauma therapy can restore your sense of balance, safety, hope and happiness. When I talk with new clients, numerous questions come up around trauma. Many are unsure if they have experienced trauma or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Anxiety treatment can promote confidence so that you can focus on present moment without fear or stress. However, if you are living with anxiety that you believe is beyond what most people experience, maybe it's time to consider anxiety treatment. Do you avoid certain things because they cause you excessive worry, which then grows into excessive fear and dread?
Reduce stress, improve your relationships, create more joy in your life and realize your personal goals with the help of personal counseling. Navigating life's challenges can be frustrating and exhausting especially if you're facing numerous issues all at once. You may find yourself struggling to manage day-to-day life, much less thinking about long term goals.
Has your life become rigid because following a routine is the only way to feel stable or safe? Do you experience thoughts of the incident that just come up out of the blue and disrupt your day? Are you often irritable or over-reactive and you don't know why? Do you wish your life could be different?

I have known Cathy for several years now. She is passionate about helping people. In addition to warmth, professionalism and competence, Cathy brings her own considerable wisdom and life experience to everything she does. I feel confident referring clients to her, particularly for her specialty in RRT, because I know she treats clients with dignity, respect and kindness.

I highly recommend Cathy Austin as a trauma-informed counselor and therapist. I have worked with Cathy for over 5 years. I have sent my family members to Cathy for Rapid Resolution Therapy and the results have been truly remarkable. Cathy caters to her clients with acceptance and understanding; she has a talent for being able to hear, understand, and affect the client's desired change.
