Hear from Grace
It excites me that I get to share the impactful work of The Catalyst Center with the community. The Catalyst team offers a diversity of specialties; two therapists rarely share the same training and specialties, which shows the commitment to supporting each individual therapist on their own journey. I firmly believe that a therapist can only take a client as far as they have taken themselves, so I love to be a part of a team that is committed to continual growth and embraces each individual’s passions. As a client, you will be seen, heard and supported.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to mental health support, so the more options we have for people to choose from for support, the more we will be able to help people along in their healing journeys. This is why I love that The Catalyst Center offers psychedelic-assisted therapy. I believe we can learn so much about ourselves when we can let go and be open to the lessons our inner teachers have for us.
Nothing makes me happier than creating a connection; I believe it fuels my life. As the outreach coordinator, I love connecting with people and hearing about their “why“. My “why” is my values – authenticity, love and belonging, self-growth, compassion, and courage.
My thoughts on mental health: Do you plan to go through life never getting sick or having an injury? No, the same goes for the mental/emotional self. At some point in life, you will have some sort of an emotional struggle, whether that be loss, anxiety from the stress of the world, an identity shift into parenthood, you name it, why go through that alone?
We’re here for you – You are not alone.
