Cates Counseling and Consulting

You were born to be real, not perfect. We can often feel like we are constantly missing the mark. At Cates Counseling, I work to help you define the goals that work for you. Together we work to decrease self-doubt and the fear of failure. Also specializing in narcissistic abuse (parental, romantic, friendship, supervisor, etc), this is a place of safety to share those feelings that often accompany being abused by someone you love and once trusted.

I am an LCMHC with 20+ years of experience and the author of the book “What Happens In This House: A memoir of Strength.” I specialize in PTSD (trauma), anxiety, depression and other issues sustained from narcissistic parental and/or romantic relationships.

A survivor myself, I work with clients from a place of compassion and understanding while providing the needed components to empower you to take control of your life. With flexible hours and the ability to use FSA or HSA benefits to cover the cost, start your healing journey today. I am excited to hear from you.
