Getting to know Cathy Asciutto
Hi there, I'm Cathy!
Hello, my name is Cathy Asciutto. I am a licensed psychologist with almost 30 years of experience. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University, San Diego Campus. Although I have experience working with children, teens, couples, and families, I am currently limiting my practice to individual adults.
My approach
I generally work from both a humanistic and cognitive behavioral approach. I find that who we are as individuals, and how we feel about ourselves, are critical components of how we cope. How we think about things, events, others, ourselves, and what we do shapes our experiences.
My focus
I typically work with people who feel anxious or stressed and/or have problems with their moods or relationships. I am comfortable treating generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, panic disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and bipolar disorders. Some clients also have ADHD or personality disorders.
My communication style
I believe it is important to provide a supportive and therapeutic environment to assist clients as they face and overcome life's challenges. My goal is to deeply understand my client's perspective, so I listen and ask questions. My communication style is direct. I may provide education and suggest strategies, tools, or recommendations to assist clients on their journey.
My journey to therapy
I became a therapist because I enjoy hearing people's stories and have a natural ability to empathize. There is almost nothing as rewarding and humbling as witnessing someone grow or heal. I feel honored and privileged to be trusted with someone's most personal thoughts and to do this work.
My goals for you
I ask why my client is coming to therapy and what they hope to achieve. Then we discuss strategies to reach those goals. Sometimes I suggest homework assignments. Everyone is unique, and treatment is tailored to each person.
