Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • California


Are you a part of a community, in a relationship, a family, or a line of work that used to feel supportive but now feels costly? Do you feel like you are performing, on guard, or run down as a result? Do you feel unable to change because the stakes are so high? I understand and walk the complicated terrain of change with my clients. Many are men, gay men, and LGBTQ+ people seeking support in affirming their identity, navigating relationships, family systems, or religious environments, couples entering a new season or seeking to improve trust and communication, those navigating career, family, and mid life, and cult survivors.

As a former minister turned psychotherapist I've walked through change myself. My practice is grounded in psychological and clinical insight. For some on a spiritual path this enhances therapy. Some are desiring to process religious trauma or limiting aspects of their religious or spiritual background with someone who can understand these environments.

Catherine Wohlwend

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 1.7 mi away • California


I’m a psychotherapist with a depth-oriented, relational approach. My work is informed by training in attachment theory, EMDR, and parts work theories (ego states and IFS).

I specialize in helping parents who are healing their generational wounds, as well as anyone with CPTSD and avoidant attachment tendencies. I work well with folks who are accomplished and may already have insight into their patterns, but struggle with persistent self-doubt, procrastination, or low motivation.

My goal is to help clients understand and heal the deeper patterns shaping their current lives.

I have a deep commitment to seeing people flourish in relationship to themselves, and to others. For many of us, we have some sense of what makes relationships great and what makes them terrible. Knowing and experiencing what makes great relationships stronger, and what turns terrible relationships around, is where I can work alongside you. As someone who has been stepped in Attachment science, I love allowing for people to make more coherent sense of their internal world, to build or restore bonds with others.
