About

Ecaterina "Catia" Gittard

Trauma Psychotherapist She, her Hi! I am so glad you're here. I believe in your innate ability to heal and I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey. I often hear my clients say they gain clarity, calmness, ease and a sense of peace by the end of our sessions. For over 11 years, I've seen long-lasting life outcomes with my clients, where they rediscover joy, self-love, pride and purpose for their lives. I offer therapy in English, Romanian, and Russian and I have a deep respect and appreciation for people of diverse cultural backgrounds. In my sessions, I create a warm and safe space, helping you feel validated, understood, and empowered. My clinical experience and expertise have been effective in treating anxiety, depression, family conflict, codependency, relationship issues, parenting and women's issues. I've been supporting and helping individuals that were experiencing loss and grief, recent traumatic experiences, childhood trauma, daily stress, low self-esteem, divorce, life transitions, and work conflict. I deeply believe that no client is the same, everyone has their own inner resources and life challenges that they are going through. Therefore, our therapy sessions will be tailored to your own specific needs and preferences that entirely depend on you and what you decide to do in our time together. Even though my work is rooted in evidence-based psychotherapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy, my clients would also ask for mind-body-soul approach, and I often offer them Brainspotting Therapy. This is an innovative therapeutic modality, founded by Dr. David Grand in 2003, and has been highly effective in work with trauma. The core principle of Brainspotting is that "where you look affects how you feel" and certain eye positions can access, process, and clear out negative experiences that are located in the subcortical brain. Dr. Grand said: "Brainspotting is a powerful, focused treatment method that works by identifying, processing and releasing core neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, dissociation and a variety of other challenging symptoms. There is no replacement for a mature, nurturing therapeutic presence and the ability to engage another suffering human in a safe and trusting relationship where they feel heard, accepted, and understood." If you're curious to find out more about this highly effective therapy, please ask me and I'd be happy to chat more. Also, you can watch Dr. David Grand's video on Brainspotting on his website here: https://brainspotting.com/about-brainspotting/what-is-brainspotting/ If you're in North Carolina, I offer in-person sessions in downtown Winston-Salem and via telehealth across the entire state. I provide online therapy sessions to clients in South Carolina, my registration with the SC Board of Social Work Examiners can be found here: llr.sc.gov/TeleHealth/SocialWork.html I can be also found on Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/peaceful-mind-therapy-services-pllc-winston-salem-nc/736936 Your mental health matters. Whether you're ready to begin therapy or if you have a question about it, I hope you reach out for a free 15 minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!

Testimonials

“Catia truly helped change my entire life, I am the happiest that I've ever been. I noticed that even when hardship comes up, I'm now able to process and navigate it with so much ease, and so little anxiety. I never even thought that would be possible for me.”

“Catia is a great therapist! She helps me navigate life and its challenges. From brainspotting to breathing techniques, she teaches me the tools I can use to go through life.”

-AZ

“Îi mulțumesc terapeutului meu, Catia, pentru tot, simt că am început să mă renasc. Tot procesul ca metamorfoza la fluturi. Cum am zis azi, de două săptămâni simt multe schimbări, dar desigur asta este rezultatul tuturor sesiunilor ghidate de ea.”
