Catherine Mapa, LICSW

Psychotherapist
MN
Hi there, I'm Catherine! I'd first like to say that whatever brought you here--- whether its because of a more recent stressful, life altering situation, or an all-consuming feeling that you have never been able to identify, etc. All are valid and a part of the human experience. Is it always fun? No. Fair? Absolutely not. I will be here when you are ready to begin. My focus I do my best work with adolescents, neurodiverse clients, those experiencing grief, and the postpartum journey. I pull from holistic approaches to therapy, including but not limited to attachment-based, emotion-focused, strengths-based, and trauma-focused, while employing a social justice, feminist, intersectional, and systemic framework. My approach First and foremost– you are the expert of your own experience and you have developed your own survival skills and coping mechanisms. I prefer to meet you where you are, and we can be curious together! We don’t always get to choose parts of our story, and we have to figure them out anyway. My commitment is to accompany you through this work. My communication style Laidback, compassionate, direct, and someone who uses the occasional swear word and is absolutely nerdy in my own right; if you want an authentic relationship with your therapist and you don’t mind being challenged and want a therapist who values your story and the skills that you already have we may be a great fit. I value safety & autonomy. My journey to mental healthcare I believe therapists should go to therapy (I do!) and do their own work and that the power of community can lead to radical healing. My own experiences of navigating my own mental health journey often allows me to create a braver space for folks, and I believe the opportunity to be a therapist is a deep honor and privilege.
