Support to help you feel calmer, stronger, and more in control.
Life can bring seasons of stress, doubt, and change that leave you feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, or major life transitions, therapy gives you a space to sort through what feels heavy.
In our sessions, you’ll have a confidential and supportive place to talk openly, understand your experiences more clearly, and learn practical strategies to move forward. Together, we’ll create a plan that’s tailored to you, so you can feel more grounded, confident, and at ease.
Helping you reconnect, communicate, and grow closer together.
Every relationship has challenges from conflicts and miscommunication to the stress of life transitions. Left unaddressed, these moments can create distance and frustration. Couples counseling gives you and your partner the space to better understand each other, work through conflict in healthier ways, and rebuild trust and connection.
In therapy, we’ll focus on strengthening your bond by practicing communication skills, addressing old patterns, and developing tools you can use long after sessions end. Whether you’re in crisis or simply want to deepen your relationship, couples counseling provides a path forward.

Healing from the past so you can live more fully in the present.
Trauma leaves more than memories — it can shape how you think, feel, and react every day. You may notice anxiety, trouble sleeping, feeling on edge, or carrying stress in your body that just won’t let go. These experiences are common, but you don’t have to live with them forever.
At Catalyst Counseling, we specialize in trauma-informed therapy that helps you process what you’ve been through in a safe and supportive environment. Our team includes therapists trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach proven to reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences and help people move forward with greater clarity and peace.
We also provide care tailored to first responders and others who face unique stress and burnout in their daily lives. With compassion and proven strategies, we’ll work together to restore balance, strengthen resilience, and build hope for the future.
