Hi there! My name is Catherine Awitta and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to individuals on their journey toward well-being and growth. With a passion for empowering people and a deep understanding of the complexities of life, I specialize in creating a safe, inclusive space where clients can explore their feelings and experiences. I see vulnerability as a strength, and my goal is to empower individuals to embrace their journey at their own pace, providing support without judgment. Together, we can navigate challenges and celebrate your progress, helping you to cultivate a more fulfilling life.
My approach
Every person brings a unique background, perspective, and set of experiences, and I honor these differences in our work together. I integrate cultural awareness into my practice and utilize a strength-based perspective to empower my clients to recognize their inherent strengths and resilience. In addition to this approach, I incorporate elements of existential therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to create a holistic and supportive therapeutic environment. I strive to tailor interventions and experiences that resonate with each individual, fostering trust and connection.
My focus
I specialize in providing comprehensive support to individuals across the lifespan. With experience working with children, college students, youth/adolescent athletes, and adults helping them navigate issues including anxiety, depressive disorders, ADHD, PTSD and trauma, relationship and family issues, adjustment concerns, learning difficulties, behavioral struggles, academic pressures, performance stress, and more.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings. Clients can expect a space where they can express themselves freely, reflect on their experiences, and gain insights. My goal is to empower clients, fostering a sense of hope and resilience as we navigate their journey together.
