Catherine Athans, Ph.D.

Early childhood trauma may cause a variety of​ dysfunctional behaviors. Often the trauma or traumas are forgotten, and yet, manifest in self-defeating attitudes and conduct.

​

If traced back to the source, you will always find a violation, an intrusion or a tampering coupled with a misinterpretation of what had occurred. This creates an unnatural pattern that acts like a block or an energy drain forming “dis-ease” and disrupting the capability to function optimally. You may then experience a myriad of symptoms, including isolation, inferiority, insecurity, desolation, and depression.

​

Dr. Catherine offers a unique form of compassionate psychotherapy, bringing her scientific, clinical and research experience as a psychotherapist, as well as a repertoire of tested and true healing modalities.

​

Whether you seek to work through and heal from wounds of the past or present, or you seek direction on a specific issue, Dr. Catherine can help you realize your potential and accomplish your goals.
