About
Cathlene Dooner
Cathlene specializes in treating anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma, relationship challenges, identity concerns, self-harm, and more. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a safe, warm, and nonjudgmental space where healing is nurtured through empathy, self-exploration, and collaboration. Cathlene combines cognitive-behavioral strategies with somatic practices to support healing on both emotional and physical levels. Grounded in compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for each individual’s journey, she helps clients gently explore their challenges, build practical coping tools, and reconnect with their inner strengths. Cathlene believes meaningful change is possible through connection, safety, and self-awareness, and she aims for her work to foster not only relief, but also growth, resilience, and a renewed sense of wholeness.
