I have enjoyed my time working with Catherine. She makes me feel heard and understood and always challenges me to think deeper about the things that bother me to identify solutions I can implement myself. I also love that Catherine offers faith-based therapy. We have prayed together many times, and she is helping me identify and work through issues that I have been feeling for years.

Dr.Brenen was awesome. I was nervous because this was my first time ever seeing a therapist. She was very knowledgeable and attentive, she’s a great communicator. She made me feel safe to share my story and problems with her and even gave me suggestions on the next steps to take in my healing process.
