“Catherine is awesome! She balances giving me a safe space to vent with challenging me to think differently. I always walk away feeling better from our conversations and I’m so grateful for it!”
Meet Catherine
I’m Catherine Fliszar, a licensed mental health counselor and wellness coach with over 17 years of experience working in the mental health field. I am fully licensed to practice independently in Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, and Utah. My experience has allowed me to work with clients with a wide range of concerns, including:
Anxiety and Stress
Mood Disorders such as Depression
ADHD
Motivation Issues
Self Care & Personal Wellness
I specialize in behavior therapies. This expertise includes:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Behavior and Symptom Management
Stress Management
Self Esteem & Self Confidence
Decision Making
Coping Skills
In addition, I am trained in a specialized trauma therapy known as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for the treatment of PTSD.
I have extensive experience conducting psychosocial assessments and writing reports. I have written well over 500 of these reports over my career. This experience enables me to write quality evaluations for my clients. I have developed a reputation among my colleagues for my efficiency, attention to detail, and superb quality of work. Additionally, I have experience providing court testimony and feel comfortable in all aspects of the legal system, including entering secure facilities and providing expert testimony.
My counseling and coaching style is collaborative and honest. I want to help you identify the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that are causing dysfunction in your life and help you develop healthier ways of navigating life's challenges. I believe that every person has the ability to change the patterns and behaviors leading to negativity. I also believe that every person can live a fulfilling life, no matter their past or current struggles. People are far more resilient than they give themselves credit for. My goal is to provide an atmosphere where you feel empowered to make real change.
My experience and training have made me especially sensitive to the needs of our nation’s military, veterans, law enforcement, and first responders.
While I am based in Pensacola, having a fully Virtual counseling and coaching practice allows me to help people throughout the states of Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New Jersey, and Utah.
When I’m not helping people, you can find me spending time with my 3 cats and dog, hanging out on one of Florida’s amazing beaches, watching the Blue Angels fly, or eating all the Mexican food on the Emerald Coast.
I look forward to working with you! Let’s set up a free consultation to determine the best way to get your life back on track.
