About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Sex Offender treatment provider with 20 years of experience providing individual care coordination, psychotherapy services, and outpatient care for at risk populations such as individual with substance abuse, disabilities, and mental illness diagnoses. I am committed to assist individuals in healing from childhood and adulthood trauma.
My goal is to provide individuals with a healthier perspective about life, the resources and support to make decisions, and tools to enact desired behavioral changes. I work with children, adolescents, adults, families and groups who have challenges managing symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety, anger management, Bipolar Disorder, depression, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Individuals are assisted in developing treatment plans to develop coping and social skills to enhance their quality of life.
My counseling style is theoretically grounded in a client-centered approach. At the core of this approach to counseling is my belief that my clients are always seeking to move toward their own healing. As a result, when working with you my goal will be to create a positive therapeutic environment that will provide you the opportunity to uncover solutions to key issues impacting your life.
I commend you for taking the first step towards seeking for a more gratifying and happier life. I look forward in supporting you in the most rewarding journey of your life!
I look forward to us working together!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cathy Collins. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
I love talking to Cathy she is very warm and open. It feels like she really wants to help and see me succeed.
Cathy's experience on teen counseling helped my daughter with her anxiety. I would recommend her to anyone.
Cathy is laid back and very down to earth. Our sessions focus on the areas we need to address and are helping us understand the problems we are having, and she is giving us tools to help us resolve them and move on. She is very professional and easy to talk to. I would recommend her definitely.
