PSYCHOTHERAPY & MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
Cat McLaughlin, LPC
she/her/hers
Hi, I’m Cat, and I am a psychotherapist specializing in treating sensitive, creative people. You've probably been to a therapist before, and it hasn't quite felt right. Or maybe you liked them, but felt disconnected from their approach. Felt that there was a way to work more deeply with your emotions, but your therapist wanted to talk about your thoughts, and give you homework. Felt really bogged down in the details, and the negative, of what's been going on in your life. Haven't really laughed.
As an AEDP therapist, we will privilege the positive. We will laugh. (And likely cry, too.) We'll develop a relationship that will "undo the aloneness" that we feel when our emotions are held within for waaaay too long. AEDP therapy is specifically tailored to the person who is sitting in front of me, and will look different for everyone. Above everything, you will be heard and seen.

PSYCHOTHERAPY
Trudy Gregson, MS, LPC
she/her/hers
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I help people who are feeling stuck in some way - in their relationships, their work, making a decision, anything that’s important to them. People sometimes notice this “stuckness” as feelings of anxiety or depression, and it sometimes becomes most noticeable during a transitional time in one’s life. Past trauma or self-esteem issues can also lend to these feelings.
I work with my clients to help them discover what’s keeping them stuck. I ask questions that make them think about themselves in a different way, and I listen deeply, without judgment. I use a strengths-based perspective and my approach is empathic, person-centered and non-pathologizing. By this I mean, I don't see people as their problems - I see their resourcefulness and their innate resilience. This empowers them to trust their own internal wisdom. Through our work together, my clients gain insights and identify ways to help them get unstuck, as well as gain greater clarity and a sense of confidence in their ability to get what they need from their relationships and their lives.
I have a Master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College and I’m trained in Internal Family Systems therapy Levels 1 & 2 through the IFS Institute. I am experienced working with people of diverse backgrounds and customize my approach according to each person’s individual needs.
