Cathie has helped me with various life situations off and on for over 15 years. She has a variety of modalities that she uses and tailors each session to what I bring in that day. She has tremendous insight and understanding and has great instincts as to what will be most helpful. She has worked with everyone in my family at one time or another. She is a gem!

Cathie has been so helpful for my wife and I even before we were married. I cannot thank her enough for all of the support and encouragement that she has provided during peaceful times and even in urgent times. Her approach always gets to the bottom of what I am experiencing and has been helpful at helping me to see outside of my subjectivity and understanding multiple perspectives in a gentle yet helpfully challenging way.

My partner and I came upon Cathie when we were looking for couples counseling/pre-marital counseling. We chose her based on reviews and her close proximity to us and she was the best person we could have happened upon! As a mental health worker myself, I can sometimes be particular in finding a counselor but Cathie met and exceeded everything I could have asked for. She not only has helped us work towards a healthier relationship with each other but also as individuals. I could not recommend her more highly.

I've known, cared about, appreciated, and respected Cathie Platt for forty-five years -- she and I having met and become friends as founding faculty members at Piedmont Virginia Community College when it first opened in the Fall of 1972. There, I taught English for nearly forty years.

Eventually, Cathie chose to leave the college and pursue her ever-growing passion to become a first-rate counselor -- which is to say, a highly educated, well-trained, committed, caring, adult professional, with a big heart, natural and cultivated intelligence, a winning smile, a delightful sense of humor, and uncanny insight, who helps enable clients to understand, navigate, face, and deal with their personal stuff.

Although we rarely see each other socially, Cathie and I remain longtime friends. When I wish to see a counselor, I choose her because I like her, I trust her, and I welcome her exceptional ability to maintain professional objectivity even with someone she knows quite well personally and interacts with as a friend.

I feel qualified to give her a rating of excellent because, over the years, I've known a number of counselors as friends or colleagues, was married to a brilliant counselor, have myself, at times, sought professional counseling, and, more recently, have been Cathie's client for six hour-long sessions spread out over a year and a half.

For an old guy, I'm reasonably self-aware, and yet Cathie never fails to surprise and delight me with her insights about me, seeming, at times, to know more than I do about who I am, what I'm wrestling with, and how I might make a desired breakthrough.

Cathie knows I often use humor as a tool when addressing my personal challenges, no matter how complicated and painful they may seem, and I always appreciate that, in working with me, she employs her rich sense of humor, too.

As they say, laughter's the best medicine! I suspect that she purposefully, genuinely befriends each of her clients, using her sense of humor to lighten the load, while, at the same time, maintaining necessary professional objectivity.

Heartfelt caring and kindness, along with professional knowledge and expertise, are qualities I value and have come to expect in all of my medical care givers. After a session with Cathie Platt, I always drive home feeling lighter of heart, more self-aware, more hopeful, more together.

Without reservation, I recommend her heartily.

Cathie is the best person I've ever worked with. She's helped me learn more about myself and deal with some issues that have been buried deep inside me for a long, long time. Highly recommended. She's wonderful!

Seldom you meet people who offer you the kindness and compassion that Cathie has shown me. My brain is wired extremely logically, and Cathie has helped me to see the deeper meaning to my emotions, dreams, and defensive mechanisms.

She is just wonderful. I wouldn't have been able to go down my journey of healing without her guidance, and I consider myself lucky to have been afforded the opportunity to learn from her.

Cathie is a kind and caring person. She has been very flexible in scheduling and even has fit in an emergency appointment or two. Her treatment is eclectic and geared ti the individual.
