Getting to know Catherine Farmer

Catherine specializes in helping clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She identifies as a relational therapist and believes healing happens within the context of a safe, supportive connection. Her approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Brainspotting, with a focus on building insight, strengthening coping skills, and supporting long-term change. Her style is warm, collaborative, and direct. She creates a space where clients feel supported and understood while also being gently challenged to grow. Sessions are tailored to each individual, balancing emotional processing with practical tools that can be applied in everyday life. As a former first responder, Catherine brings a unique understanding of high-stress environments, trauma exposure, and resilience. She became a therapist out of a deep commitment to helping others feel less alone and more empowered in their healing, and she values authenticity, connection, and meeting clients where they are. Outside of her work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, being near the water, traveling, and spending time with her pets.
