Cat Toledo (she/her)

Clinical Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPCC, NCC

My name is Catherine Toledo and I am an independent psychotherapist in Lexington, Kentucky. I have over eight years of clinical experience and while I have worked with folks of all ages, I am currently focusing on education and clinical work specifically geared towards adult women. I earned my bachelor of science in Psychology from Western Carolina University in 2012 and later returned to Western Carolina's Asheville campus to complete my master of science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have specific experience and education working with trauma and post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorders and mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, perinatal/postpartum disorders and LGBTQ+ issues. 

I am certified in prenatal mood and anxiety disorders from Postpartum Support International and offer support for clients who are experiencing distress around pregnancy, parenthood, breastfeeding, etc. My other areas of practice include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other mindfulness based cognitive therapies. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which is a treatment that focuses on removing negative emotions associated with traumatic experiences, negative self image and anxiety.
 

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and empowering space for each client to explore and process emotions in order to encourage hope and healing. I strive to provide a judgment free atmosphere that promotes positive change and growth. If you are interested in therapy services at this time, please contact me through the submission box below.
