About Catherine Molenaar, MA LPCC

Are you at a point in life where you’re feeling disconnected in your closest relationships and from yourself? Whether you’re a parent or a teen feeling overwhelmed, a professional experiencing burnout, or a partner feeling disconnected… you find yourself feeling stuck, repeating the same patterns of codependence, fighting or people pleasing. If this sounds like you or your relationship, it’s time to make a change. I work with teens, adults & couples, just like you, struggling to manage their roles, expectations, and unhealed traumatic experiences. Their relationships are suffering & they feel disconnected from what used to feel good.

I am passionate about supporting individuals (15+), couples/families who feel overwhelmed from their many roles and are looking for support as they unwind their pasts from their future while strengthening their closest relationships, including the one with themselves. My journey to becoming a therapist is rooted in my personal experiences and transformative power of therapy in my own life.

The individuals and couples I work with are looking for support to make changes and get unstuck. Through goal setting and skill building, I’ll help you put a plan in place to help you move forward and celebrate your successes along the way. I offer an inclusive, empathic, safe space with in-person or virtual appointments to suit your schedule.

My approach to therapy is both holistic and client focused, providing a non-judgmental, empathic space. I am committed to empowering you to take an active role in your healing process. Together, we will explore the roots of your relationship patterns and how past experiences influence your current issues, fostering deeper understanding and promoting meaningful, lasting change.
