Report
I attended a workshop that Cathy offers for therapists wanting to begin a private practice a couple weeks ago. Cathy was incredibly thorough with every little detail and was a wealth of information! Her workshop included an E book with all kinds of links and suggestions for therapists which I found very helpful. She was very available for any questions I had and gave many options for the dates of the workshop to work with my schedule. Cathy was friendly, down-to-earth and very willing to cover whatever I needed to know. She seems to be very experienced and I can tell that her clients get a lot
