Welcome to
Cathy Nagy Psychology

- Are you struggling with a problem, and no matter how hard you try, you just can’t seem to find a solution?
- Are you feeling overwhelmed with stress in your life and don’t know how to change it?
- Do you hope for things in your life to change, but find that the same patterns keep happening?
Often the most difficult part of entering into therapy is simply making the decision to start. If you have found your way to this site, you are at least considering it as an option.
You may have already tried everything that you know to help yourself. Or maybe you feel all alone and your problems consume your thoughts. You might be wondering if it is time to involve a mental health professional…someone who can objectively look at your life and help you to discover, understand, and change the things that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Psychotherapy can help you to find solutions to the problems in your life
By applying a therapeutic approach that is personalized to you, we will work together to help you to:
Talk therapy is a powerful medium for change.
Talking with a non-biased, trained and experienced psychotherapy professional is completely unlike other relationships that people typically have in their lives. It is an opportunity to learn about yourself and see aspects of your life in an entirely new way. When you begin to look at things differently, alternate options become available, you become less stuck, and have a clearer idea of what you could do to change.
Achieve growth.
When you know better, you can do better.
Sometimes just having a different perspective can allow you to make choices that will work better for you in your life. Through psychotherapy, you can take what you have discovered about yourself and then begin to apply new skills and healthier strategies to the areas of your life that you would like to improve. Through change comes growth.
Experience happiness.
You define your own
happiness.
With insight and growth come an increase in self-esteem and an awareness of your inherent strengths and capabilities. This experience then leads you to feelings of empowerment and belief in your ability to cope with future problems. When in this state of positive well-being you are most likely to feel satisfied and content with yourself and your life. It is within your control.

Her approach to working with clients is transparent and authentic, meaning that she shares with clients what she is thinking and why. She believes in creating a relationship that builds trust and respect, creating a safe environment for her clients to explore the most sensitive and painful areas of their life. She works together with her clients to match their uniqueness with approaches and strategies that are most likely to lead to success – however they have defined it.
All people are unique and so no one process will work for every client. She draws from various psychological theoretical orientations including cognitive behavioural (CBT), EMDR, client-centred, and solution focused frameworks. She has experience working with a broad range of problems within both long term and brief models of therapy, and will draw from these various approaches depending on a client’s particular needs and presenting issues. She is deeply committed to helping clients to develop the tools they need to address their difficulties, to understand themselves more fully, and finally, to live a better and more fulfilling life.

Ultimately, her belief is that all people inherently possess the potential for success and happiness. Part of her work will concentrate on identifying her clients’ innate strengths and abilities and how they can harness these strengths so that they can overcome obstacles in their lives. She finds that this approach enables individuals to find creative, satisfying, and long lasting solutions to their problems. The end goal of successful therapy is for clients to leave with a new level of insight that allows them to achieve growth and increased self-esteem which leads to feeling empowered and able to cope with future problems. As needed, she incorporates cognitive behavioural, solution focused, and narrative approaches to therapy.
