CLINICAL SUPERVISOR & CO-FOUNDER OF EUNOIA

“I believe every person (and every relationship) is capable of growth and change.”

Catherine Alvarado, LMFT

Hey, I’m Cat.

Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck in their heads, or burned out from constantly pushing through anxiety, trauma, or neurodivergence without relief. They want to feel more at ease in their bodies and confident in who they are. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), EMDR-Certified Therapist, Consultant-in-Training (CIT), and Clinical Supervisor. I co-own Eunoia Wellness Studio in Redondo Beach, offering trauma-informed care in a warm, thoughtfully designed space.

My background & approach

I specialize in complex trauma, anxiety, phobias, and sensory sensitivity. My work supports neurodivergent clients, deep thinkers, and highly sensitive people seeking regulation and relief. I integrate EMDR and body-based approaches to reduce overwhelm, support nervous system healing, and help clients reconnect with themselves.

Therapy is tailored for those navigating racing thoughts, emotional shutdowns, or chronic overstimulation. Whether you're coping with ADHD, anxiety, or past trauma, I offer a grounding, collaborative space where healing is possible. Clients often describe feeling more clear, connected, and confident after our work together.

You can reach me directly via call or text at 323.296.9846 or by email at therapybycat@gmail.com. You’re also welcome to visit my website at www.therapybycat.com to learn more or get in touch.
