Catherine Murphy

Catherine is a Professional Counselor Associate who offers a holistic, person-centered approach to therapy that is grounded in mindfulness and a focus on the present moment. She believes that our mental health is deeply shaped not only by our inner experiences, but also by our relationships, environments, and the larger systems we exist within. Together, we’ll explore these layers with curiosity and compassion, helping you better understand yourself in context - not in isolation.

Her work is informed by both professional and personal experience. With a background that includes immigration, adoption, and foster care, Catherine brings a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed lens to our work. She understands how deeply our heritage and lived experiences shape who we become and how we want to be seen and understood.

Catherine has experience supporting individuals through life transitions, trauma, grief, crisis care, and gender-related exploration. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, she aims to meet you where you are and to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, valued, and supported. 

Catherine takes a progressive, strengths-based approach and believes therapy should empower you to become more autonomous and aligned with your authentic self. Rather than positioning herself as the “expert,” she sees our work as a partnership, one where we move at your pace and honor what feels most important to you.
