Catherine Liang (she/her)

I specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating polyamorous and open relationships. I understand that these relationship structures can bring unique challenges and complexities, as well as opportunities for growth and fulfillment. I provide a non-judgmental space to navigate issues such as jealousy, communication breakdowns, establishing boundaries, managing time and commitments, and negotiating agreements that work for all parties involved.

I understand the unique experiences, pressures, and societal expectations that women often face. I am experienced in helping women explore issues such as body image, self-esteem, relationships, career, gender-based violence, and gender inequality. My goal is to empower women, foster self-compassion, and promote personal growth and well-being.

I have expertise in working with individuals who have experienced PTSD and utilizing a somatic approach to healing. Trauma not only affects the mind but also manifests in the body and nervous system. I am skilled in helping clients reconnect with their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and release stored trauma through somatic techniques such as breath work, grounding exercises, and therapeutic movement.

I have expertise in somatic therapy, an approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of the mind and body in the healing process. I understand that trauma, stress, and emotional difficulties can become stored in the body, leading to physical tension, discomfort, and imbalances. Through somatic therapy, I help clients develop awareness of bodily sensations, emotions, and patterns of tension. Together, we can regulate the nervous system, and promote overall well-being.

I have expertise in utilizing expressive arts therapy, with a specific focus on dance and movement. I understand the transformative power of movement and the profound impact it can have on emotional expression, self-discovery, and healing.

As a therapist, I recognize the importance of honoring and respecting diverse cultural backgrounds and identities. I understand that cultural factors can significantly influence an individual's beliefs, values, and experiences, including their mental health and well-being. I aim to provide therapy that is sensitive to the unique needs and perspectives of each individual, fostering a sense of validation, empowerment, and cultural pride.
