Catherine Durham, AMFT
Hi, I’m Catherine, but you can call me Cat. I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, and I work with adolescents and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship challenges, and life transitions. It can be hard to begin therapy, and I strive to offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can show up as you are while we work together to better understand what you’re experiencing.
Our work will focus on slowing things down to explore patterns in thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behavior. Together, we make sense of these patterns so you can reconnect with yourself, develop new ways of coping, and move toward meaningful change.
My clinical background includes working in treatment settings supporting clients with complex mental health and substance use needs. I have also helped develop curriculum for an adolescent treatment program, creating therapeutic groups focused on emotional awareness, coping skills, identity development, and connection. This experience allows me to bring both structure and flexibility into the therapy process while creating a unique and individualized space for each person.
I work from an attachment- and dissociation-informed framework. This means we pay attention to how early relationships, nervous system responses, and protective patterns shape your current experience. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, therapy centers on understanding underlying needs, building safety, and helping different parts of your experience feel more integrated.
Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, navigating trauma, or wanting to understand yourself and your relationships more deeply, therapy can help you move toward a life that feels more aligned and connected.
Therapy is a huge step to take and if you feel ready I'm here to support you.
