Catherine Tucker is an experienced counselor with a PhD and LCMHCS credentials, dedicated to helping parents who feel as though they have tried everything with no success. With a knack for alleviating the dread that comes when the phone rings concerning school issues, Catherine has cultivated a vast and continually expanding toolkit based on brain science. Over the years, she has worked with hundreds of children facing challenges such as anxiety, trauma, ADHD, ODD, and grief, demonstrating that these hurdles can be managed effectively with the right strategies. She employs a joyful and playful methodology known as Theraplay, a technique that has proven highly successful since its inception in the 1960s and has been a cornerstone of her practice for nearly 20 years. When trauma is a factor, she often complements her approach with EMDR. Moreover, Catherine utilizes innovative tools like the Safe and Sound Protocol, a groundbreaking technology that employs music to recalibrate the nervous system. With a wealth of counseling experience and firsthand knowledge of the complexities of juggling work, life, and family—having navigated the middle school years with three children—Catherine truly understands the challenges parents face and is committed to providing effective support.
