Getting to know Cathy Deikman

Cathy Deikman MFT I am a licensed mental health therapist in California with over 20 years of experience helping clients. I hold a Master's in Psychology from Saint Mary's College of California. I am empathic, thoughtful, and pay close attention to concerns and feelings. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and experiences, never pigeonholing or making assumptions. Everyone needs help sometimes with difficulties that may arise unexpectedly or be more long-term and challenging. I provide psychotherapy for a variety of concerns, including anxiety, abuse, trauma, self-criticism and low self-esteem, life changes, and ongoing patterns that hurt rather than help. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, and eclectic, meaning I interweave approaches and use elements best suited to the client's therapy goals and life circumstances. Perspectives and approaches I draw from include CBT, Humanistic Psychology, IFS, Inner Critic work, and depth psychology. Seeking help can feel uncertain and stressful in itself. My goal is for you to feel safe and heard as we begin a collaborative conversation about your needs, goals, what is going on, and how you are feeling. Counseling is a process that helps you develop understanding of feelings, difficult life experiences, and longstanding patterns that persist despite efforts to change. Psychotherapy can help build coping, problem-solving, and communication skills, increase choice, and make growth possible.
