Welcome! You’ve Already Taken the First Step.

Life has so much beauty, but sometimes, it’s hard to see through the stress, exhaustion, or past experiences weighing you down. The fact that you’re here means you’re ready to take that first step toward something different.

Maybe you’ve been told that:

🔵 Counseling is only for people who “can’t handle life.”
🩷 Struggling is just how life works—so why change it?
🌿 Reaching out means you’re weak, or that you need someone to “fix” you.

But here’s the truth:

🔵 Therapy isn’t about weakness—it’s about self-awareness and growth.
🩷 You don’t need to be “broken” to benefit from support.
🌿 This is your space to be heard, understood, and to explore new ways of living that work for you.

So many of us carry old beliefs, messages, and habits that no longer serve us. Therapy helps you:

🔘 Unpack what’s been weighing you down
🔘 Rewrite beliefs that no longer fit your life
🔘 Move forward in a way that feels real and freeing

Let’s talk about you.

You’ve either had to be the “Perfect One”...

You’ve either had to be the “Perfect One”, the “Black Sheep” or the “Silent One” in your family.  But there’s so much more to you than the labels that have been placed on you.  Let’s talk about who you really are.

Self care is NOT selfish...

Self care is NOT selfish.  You deserve to tend to yourself before you can continue to be there for the people that count on you.  Let’s talk about ways to prioritize YOU

You don’t have to be “perfect” to be worth it...

You don’t have to be “perfect” to be worth it.  You are perfectly imperfect.  You deserve to count your wins.  Let’s discover all the beauty in you

All of your feelings are valid...

All of your feelings are valid.  There is no need to “fake it” anymore. 

You watched your own parents...

You watched your own parents (“los viejos”, “parhan ou”) go through a lot and feel that same pain running through your veins.  However, you do not have to repeat the sins of the past.  Let’s talk about how to end that cycle with you.

The systems in place have placed labels and diagnoses on you...

The systems in place have placed labels and diagnoses on you without really understanding all the ways you have had to adapt to the conditions around you.  Let me help you understand who you are past the labels and stories imposed upon you

You have been in Survival Mode for most of your life...

You have been in Survival Mode for most of your life – getting things done, one task at a time, without a moment to sit and reflect.  Let’s talk about how to live mindfully again.

Hi! I'm Catherine.

A Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida

I started Happy Thoughts Mental Health to support individuals looking for a safe, compassionate space to heal, grow, and rediscover themselves. Life is filled with beautiful moments and difficult seasons, and sometimes, we need a little help finding our way back to balance.

You already have strength, wisdom, and resilience within you—sometimes, it just takes the right support to bring it forward. That’s where I come in. I help people work through:

🔵 Feeling constantly “on edge” or anxious
🔵 Healing from past trauma & difficult experiences
🔵 Breaking harmful patterns & cycles
🔵 Managing stress & overwhelm
🔵 Setting boundaries & prioritizing self-care
🔵 Navigating life transitions & unexpected change
🔵 Overcoming sadness that feels never-ending
🔵 Rebuilding confidence & self-love

At Happy Thoughts Mental Health, I want just that for you—thoughts that bring clarity, healing, and peace. Therapy isn’t just about managing struggles; it’s about creating space for:

🔘 Gratitude for where life has taken you
🔘 Mindfulness to fully experience the present moment
🔘 Perspective to navigate relationships & personal growth
🔘 Healing from the past while building your future

Let’s work together to help you feel grounded, empowered, and fully yourself again.

    Testimonials

    By far, the best therapist I’ve ever encountered. She walks with you through thoughts and takes you on journeys that in the end show you results and truly help you see where gaps might be. That alone helps the individual work on themselves to be their best version

    Catherine is very good at listening to my concerns without being judgmental. She helps identify problems and offers lots of possible solutions to those issues as well as ones I identify. She’s professional, flexible, and understanding, often working within my schedule to ensure I receive my time and get the assistance I desire. I have already recommended her to others.

    Catherine truly listens to my concerns and asks questions to make me think why I react in situations. She helps me feel validated and is instilling baby steps to help me become more stronger in who I am. After two sessions I already feel lighter and feel like I can finally overcome my obstacles with her help! She understands my weird humor and accepts my quirks!
