Cathi Hendricks (she, her, hers) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with over 20 years’ experience working with individuals and families. She has worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, private practice, college counseling, domestic violence, child welfare, substance abuse, hospital, and secondary education.
Her approach to therapy is relational and systems based, meaning she considers the various people and experiences that have influenced you. Cathi also uses mindfulness with lots of humor and laughter mixed in, all while keeping you focused on your goals. She creates an inclusive and safe space for individuals so that they can work towards self-awareness, self-worth, and personal growth.
She uses many therapeutic techniques and collaborate with you to make sure she tailor your work together in a way that meets your needs. Learning to find your voice and your truth takes time, and Cathi would be honored to be on that journey with you.
Cathi has a passion for working with:
* Late adolescence/early adults and adults from diverse backgrounds that are experiencing a wide variety of concerns. She enjoy working with concerns related to anxiety, depression, relationships, family issues, and trauma. She is especially passionate about working with individuals from the LGBTQ+ community, including those who are exploring their gender identity, and has extensive experience in working with and advocating for neurodiverse adults, especially those with autism spectrum disorder.
* Neurodiverse adults that have concerns with executive function skills, life skills, social communication, self-advocacy, and more. Cathi finds it important for someone to understand their strengths, not just their deficits in a neurotypical world.
* Individuals that have experienced early childhood trauma or recent trauma. When working with trauma survivors, she helps them to understand how those experiences might influence their current ways of thinking about themselves and others, and work toward helping them break patterns that are holding them back. For some trauma survivors, Cathi uses a technique called Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This technique requires an extra certification, which she has, and can help lessen the emotional distress associated with traumatic memories.
