Getting to know Cathy Nau
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field, including psychotherapy and life coaching. Throughout my career, I've helped individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. I also have experience supporting individuals through weight loss surgery and the emotional and behavioral changes that accompany it.
I recognize that everyone comes to therapy with unique experiences, strengths, and challenges. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, grounded in a humanistic philosophy that values each person's individuality and capacity for growth.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Solution-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic approaches, tailoring our work to your individual needs and goals.
Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you're hoping to gain from our work together, and any questions or concerns you may have. There's no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported as we begin building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Outside of therapy, I have a deep love of nature and animals and have been actively involved in cat rescue and fostering, particularly with senior cats and those with special medical needs. These experiences have reinforced my appreciation for compassion, patience, resilience, and the meaningful connections we share. As an animal lover myself, I also understand how profound the grief of losing a beloved pet can be.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
