Cathy Delgado-Standerfer, LPC Associate

We all long to feel connected, known, and loved. And when we don’t, it can create tremendous suffering. In response to our pain, we adapt and learn ways to cope- ultimately seeking to make intolerable feelings tolerable. But our coping strategies disconnect us from who we truly are and come at a high cost. I offer a therapeutic lifeline that empowers you to claim your inherent worth and inner knowing. I deeply respect and want to nurture the wisdom you hold inside yourself. You may worry that you are too flawed, but together we can rediscover your worthiness and the inherent beauty within you. Working experientially, I integrate IFS, IPNB, Coherence, and AEDP approaches to meaningfully and deeply investigate your inner world. Patients can expect a warm, open, curious, and present clinician who wants to truly understand what it is that is bringing you in for therapy. People I work with wish to get to the root of their suffering, and this involves befriending the parts of you that may be difficult to acknowledge or understand. I provide a sacred space for healing that is tailored to you. I invite you to connect if you’d like to explore working with me toward more ease and joy. I’ll accompany you as you uncover your way back to your core self-meaning, who you were before the trauma and pain necessitated strategies that created further suffering. The special bond built in the therapeutic relationship can be a beautiful pathway to healing.
