Catherine Ferguson
I believe therapy is most effective when the clinician presents themselves as the client does-a person with a unique past and personality. When you take out a therapist’s humanity and lived experience, there is no true therapeutic connection and trust from the client. That’s why I strive to be both a person and therapist through my conversational, authentic, and collaborative style. I am experienced in serving those with chronic mental health issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, psychosomatic symptoms, and somatic disorders.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which has become one of the “go to” trauma treatments supported by research. It can help significantly in reducing symptoms related to PTSD as well as various other issues. I am also a Certified Trauma Professional and received a certificate in integrative somatic psychology for trauma.
I utilize somatic, body-based based, and trauma informed modalities such as Polyvagal Theory, mindfulness, and movement to address physical symptoms of trauma and anxiety. I am also knowledgeable in DBT and CBT. It would be my pleasure to serve as both your guide and companion on your journey to wellness!
