About Cathryn Ahanonu

I am licensed in Wyoming with 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & coping with grief and loss.

My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines client centered, strengths based, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic therapy modalities. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

“Cathryn has such a gentle, non judgmental way of speaking to me. I feel so much better when I am done with my sessions. I feel heard and respected”

“I love Cathryn! It’s been hard for me to find a good therapist in the past, I never got along well with them. But she is really good about working through things and not making you feel dumb about thoughts and feelings you have that don’t make sense.”

“Wonderful woman to speak with, she does very well with connecting and making sure you know you are human. She also is wonderful at recognizing that certain things don’t work for everyone.”

“She’s wonderful. ❤️”

“She is a compassionate person And she is able to keep me directed toward my goals rather than just getting stuck in my emotions”

“Cathryn is very knowledgeable and attentive. She makes me heard and valued as well as providing constructive ideas and encouragement.”

“Cat is compassionate, understanding, and offers great insights! Extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and supportive!”

“She is so kind. She offers a listening ear and leads me to different resources on the path I am on. She is sympathetic to me and she comes across so understanding and gentle yet grounding me in the here and now. I am grateful for her. This is an emotional time for me and I needed her to be gentle yet grounding. Thank Ms Ahanonu”

“Cat is always there and always helps. I’ve never been good at showing up but for almost a year now I have every week. Thank you”

“Cathryn is an amazing therapist. I have had therapy with her for the past 1.5 years and I am enormously thankful for her support through hard times. Cathryn understands me well, she is a great listener with a sense of humor, and she provides different techniques and different resources but on the other hand, these instruments are not overwhelming and easy to use and most importantly on point and effective. Cathryn always has the right words to say and great advice to give. <br /> I am grateful to find her on this platform.”

“Amazing therapist. She really listens and knows what my main point is when I ramble on and sometimes knows my point when I don't know it. She gives actionable advice each week and is so pleasant, non-judgmental, and fun. Highly recommend”
