About Us

Catalyst Counseling is a social injustice-informed, and all-body affirming space, that encourages one another to be seen in the context in which their identity impacts their experience with systemic oppression and discrimination. Our therapists affirm all identities and strive to generate a safe environment for all individuals to be heard and supported. At Catalyst Counseling we believe in anti-racism and that Black Lives Matter.
