“Therapist Cathy Alexander has a suttle yet poignant therapeutic approach towards healing trauma. She has calm focus and support techniques that allow the client to "capture and release" their physical and emotional traumas held deep inside their bodies. My traumatic pain has been endured consciously and unconsciously since childhood. It is such a relief to me to have a therapist that can initiate, sustain and support this kind of therapeutic work with her clients.”

Getting to know Cathy Alexander

My primary tool for helping clients with trauma is ImTT or Image Transformation Therapy. ImTT works using imagery and the breath to release triggers that are related to past trauma. Releasing triggers allows you to make choices based on what's happening now not what you body has decided is a threat because of the past. Mindfulness and somatic practices as well as self-care tools are valuable to support the work. They help clients heal and reset their nervous system from the inside out. This helps you choose to be present in the world. It does so in a safe and gentle way. The ability to calm an activated nervous system is one of the most valuable tools you can use for good mental health. If this speaks to you reach out and schedule a time to meet. I would love to work with you.
