Welcome
I'm Dr. Catherine Seldin, a psychotherapist in private practice. You can call me Cate. I'm so glad you're here!
I've been told that sitting with me feels warm, comfortable, gently empowering, and deeply supportive. I specialize in working with adult and young adult female-identifying clients. We explore your key struggles, strengths, and relationships, honoring all parts of you and your story. To navigate change with growing trust and insight, we incorporate mindfulness techniques and doses of humor along the way. We turn to the wisdom of both nature and neuroscience to better understand and care for yourself. Ultimately, our work strengthens your connection to your core intuitive voice, your compass in life.
My therapy approach is eclectic, holistic, and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I draw from empirically-based treatment modalities and wellness perspectives including psychodynamic, relational, cognitive behavioral, internal family systems, and mind-body. I primarily work with women around mood concerns, relationships, life transitions, trauma, and the body experience.
I have practiced in the mental health field for over 15 years. I earned my Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology from William James College, a Master's Degree in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University, and an undergraduate degree in Anthropology and Women's Studies from Brandeis University. Prior to working in private practice, I gained clinical experience working in a range of mental health settings, including the following college counseling centers and community clinics:
Massachusetts College of Art and Design Counseling & Wellness Center, Boston MA
Babson College Counseling and Psychological Services, Wellesley MA
Curry College Counseling Center, Milton MA
Two Brattle Center, Cambridge MA
Boston Institute for Psychotherapy, Brookline MA
Human Relations Service, Wellesley MA
I've also held psychology research positions through the University of Oxford Department of Health Sciences in Oxford, England as well as the Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley College.
You've taken the first huge step just by coming here. Let's take the next one together. I offer free initial 15-minute virtual appointments to discuss what you're looking for, and the possibility of us working together. It would be my pleasure to talk with you!
