About Catovia Rayner

As a licensed therapist, I bring two decades of compassionate, culturally responsive counseling experience. My practice centers on supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges, with a deep commitment to holistic healing and personal growth.

I specialize in addressing stress, anxiety, grief, career transitions, and multicultural concerns, offering a warm and affirming therapeutic space.

My approach honors each client’s unique journey, focusing on areas like self-love, communication, social connections, life purpose, and personal empowerment.

I understand the intricate ways personal experiences intersect with broader social dynamics, particularly for individuals navigating identity, workplace, and systemic challenges.

Drawing from extensive clinical expertise, I provide supportive guidance for diverse concerns including relationship dynamics, workplace stress, midlife transitions, family systems, and individual emotional wellness.

My goal is to create a collaborative, respectful environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation.

I look forward to working together in helping you become a better you each day.

“Catovia has honestly been such a big help and continues to be. She has supported me through some dark moments and helped me stay sane when things felt overwhelming. She’s helped me differentiate between being aware and overthinking, which has made such a difference. I’m learning to set boundaries without apologizing for them and to embrace my life a little more every day. I’m really grateful for her patience and the way she shows up for me.”

“She is helpful, available, and present”

“Very patient and knowledgeable”

“Thank you for helping me understand a lot of my emotions and thoughts”

“Catovia Rayner is professional while still relatable in a more casual setting. She's able to listen and make suggestions without making me feel judged. She also provides several different suggestions so that we can figure out which mental tool works best for me.”

“Catovia is exactly what my nervous system needs to manage day to day. I can't thank her enough for her wisdom, affirmations, and efforts that have made me see the other side of pain after each session. She's truly a gift.”

“She’s awesome so far.”

“Cat is empathetic and a wonderful listener. She intuitively knows when to keep our sessions more lighthearted and also when I need space to cry freely. She has seen the depths of my anxiety and the vulnerability of my position at any given point in the year we've been meeting. I am always met with great care. I am so grateful for her help.”

“Cat has been pretty amazing this far. I’m a newer patient, and she made me feel very welcomed and at ease. 3000% a safe space. Great listener, really helps me stay accountable, and it might seem silly but I love that she sends me worksheets! Taking time, even if it’s only here and there through the busy work week to keep working on myself has been extremely helpful in keeping perspective in stressful situations and big corporate girl feelings!!”

“Catovia was great and very helpful! She is a great listener and has helpful suggestions. She helped me get through an uncertain time.”
