I’m Catherine Alvarado, LMFT

My approach to consultation is rooted in reflection, curiosity, and attunement.

I hold space for clinicians doing deep work — especially those navigating complex trauma, nervous system dysregulation, identity shifts, and relational dynamics. Whether you're building confidence in the EMDR phases or feeling stuck with a client. Who I support in consultation:

  • (For when clients intellectualize, override, or move ahead of the work.)

  • (Creating safety for the clinician’s experience too.)

  • (Bridging structured protocols with intuitive and embodied work.)
