Caterina Pehrson provides therapy for children, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, life transitions, and family struggles. She offers a calm, compassionate space where clients can feel seen, supported, and understood as they move toward healing and growth.
Caterina works with children who are learning how to express big emotions, adults who may be feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and couples who want to strengthen connection and communication. She is especially passionate about creating a supportive environment where clients from all backgrounds feel welcome and respected. She is fluent in Spanish and is committed to providing care that is warm, inclusive, and accessible.
Before beginning her clinical training, Caterina worked with families navigating trauma, poverty, and instability, and supported individuals in crisis as a psychiatric technician. These experiences helped shape the grounded, empathetic presence she brings to therapy and deepened her respect for the courage it takes to ask for help.
Her approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy. She tailors therapy to each client’s needs, with a focus on emotional understanding, practical support, and meaningful connection.
If you are looking for support for yourself, your relationship, or your child, Caterina would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and stronger connection.

SPANISH:
Hola, soy Caterina- estudiante de posgrado en Terapia de Matrimonio y Familia, con una base sólida en ciencias del comportamiento y varios años de experiencia acompañando a personas y familias en contextos educativos y de salud mental. Me importa profundamente que las personas se sientan vistas, escuchadas y apoyadas—ya sea que estén atravesando los desafíos de la vida adulta o aprendiendo a expresar emociones grandes en la infancia.
Antes de comenzar mi educación clínica, trabajé con familias enfrentando situaciones de trauma, pobreza e inestabilidad, y apoyé a personas en crisis como técnica psiquiátrica. Esas experiencias moldearon la forma en que me presento en terapia: con calma, empatía y mucho respeto por el coraje que se necesita para pedir ayuda.
Actualmente trabajo con niños, adultos y parejas. Utilizo enfoques terapéuticos basados en evidencia, como la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT), la Terapia Focalizada en las Emociones (EFT) y la Terapia Narrativa. Hablo español con fluidez y estoy comprometida a ofrecer un espacio cálido, accesible y respetuoso para personas de todo tipo de experiencias y recorridos de vida.
Si estás buscando apoyo ya sea para usted, su relación o su hij@, será un honor acompañarte en su camino hacia el bienestar, el crecimiento y una mayor conexión.
