Catherine A. Stone, LISW-CP
For over 25 years, I’ve helped adults navigate the quiet, enduring impact of trauma. Trauma isn't always a single event; often, it’s a series of moments that subtly reshaped how you see yourself and the world.
By this stage of life, you may realize that the 'Protector' parts of you—the ones that helped you survive your past—are now the very parts keeping you stuck in the present. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (since 1999), I specialize in helping you recognize these long-standing survival patterns. Using a blend of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), we work to unblend from old habits and lead your life from a place of 'Self-Energy.' It’s about moving from reactive survival to conscious, values-driven choice, giving you back the steering wheel of your own life.
