Catherine Gendron

CLINICAL DIRECTOR | REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST | MEDITATION TEACHER

As a Registered Psychotherapist with twelve years of experience in mental health, I take a holistic approach to therapy that aligns mind, body and soul. I use evidence-based and creative therapies to empower my clients to explore the complex layers of the human experience. Through collaboration, I guide them to feel confident and capable, helping them achieve their goals and improve their overall well-being.

​

By encouraging clients to tap into their inner resources, such as resilience, self-compassion, and mindfulness, I help them develop trauma-sensitive coping strategies they can use beyond our sessions.

As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe environment and supportive space where people can grow in self-awareness, overcome barriers to life goals, and gain skills to be leaders in their life journey.

As a therapist, I work from a trauma-informed perspective.  I bring compassion and understanding to each session.  I work to ensure that a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space is created, so that clients can explore their emotions and thoughts. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, but I integrate a variety of modalities to best fit a client’s needs, including strength-based, somatic, person-centered, parts work, and mindfulness.
