    "I wholeheartedly recommend working with Catherine Quiring."

    Her tenacity and enthusiasm to keep learning more about healing and self-trust speaks to her commitment not only to her clients and the therapeutic/coaching relationship, but also to her own personal growth.

    "Catherine Quiring is amazing."

    She knows what it's like to grow up evangelical and how to find peace, healing, and self-trust on the other side. She can help you make sense of why and how you experienced religious trauma, and learn how to come home to yourself. She combines both professionalism and realness to meet you where you're at.

    "Catherine is the ideal coach and counselor."

    Her demeanor allows for safe inner exploration and engagement. She always helped me stay curious about my needs and experiences, pinpointing cues and answers when they arose. She brings a wealth of knowledge and education to the table with zero intimidation. My growth was exponential with her support.

I have finally found a genuine healer, in Catherine! 

I retired from the military here in Pensacola and have undergone trauma related therapy as it has manifest at various times in my adult life. 

Catherine is highly, highly empathic and able to sense where and how my trauma entangled my mind, body, spirit, how to liberate it and be whole again!  I am certain she would be helpful with most any issues, but if you are dealing with trauma specifically, I HIGHLY encourage you give Catherine a try!

IFS has helped me on my personal journey by giving a voice to different parts of myself and allowing each to have room to express itself. Catherine and I often joke it's like the literal representation of the movie, Inside Out. As a creative person, that visual representation has greatly helped me create healthy relationships with all the different parts of myself.

Rather than feeling like I "should" act a certain way and "shouldn't" listen to certain thoughts, I've grown to be curious to hear what comes to the surface inside of me.

IFS has helped me learn to communicate more kindly to myself, be more patient as I learn and grow, and appreciate all of who I am. My mind has become a much safer place to be after practicing IFS therapy for the past year and a half.

    "Catherine is the kind of person who makes you feel seen—deeply and truly. "

    Catherine Quiring is on a mission to help big-hearted, introspective folks reconnect with their inner wisdom, rediscover joy, and break free from the weight of people-pleasing to find their own vibrant, liberated lives. Her work is rooted in care, playfulness, and the belief that healing happens best when we do it together.

    "I spent the last 30 years working with a variety of therapists...in the last 3 years I have made more progress than that previous 27 years combined. "

    With the combination of IFS and EMDR, I am in a much better place than ever imagined was possible. Catherine has created a safe place where I can address deep underlying core issues that were manifesting as the symptoms of depression and anxiety. Catherine creates a safe and trusting environment while also encouraging me to challenge my perspective and take steps to discover and then heal the root cause issues.

    "Catherine is warm and kind to all who meet her. She has a demeanor that communicates you are cared for immediately."

    Catherine listens with empathy and compassion, and has been wise in her advice. She is dedicated to all of her patients and will work to do what is best for the patient at all times! I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a therapeutic path forward.

    Catherine brings peace to those around her through her listening, the care in her eyes, and the questions she asks.

    Catherine has helped me process difficult family situations and spoken encouragement and hope to me. I recommend her as a quality counselor who can help you if you just need encouragement through a dark season or years of support.

“She helps clients reflect on their life patterns, move through challenging areas, and find a sense of meaning from their experiences.”

Catherine is a competent, compassionate, and well-rounded practitioner. She always goes above and beyond for the clients she serves and ensures that their unique needs are met. The care that she has for coming alongside people in their life journey coupled with her being easy to relate to, makes her easy to trust.

Catherine has had experience therapeutically addressing the effects of generational trauma and the impact it has on attachment, thought patterns, and self-perception. She has also addressed the way that trauma and experiences affect the body and uses techniques to raise more awareness to the way one internalizes their experiences kinesthetically.

- Dr. Heather Baranowski

“Catherine exemplifies the definition of a great counselor.”

She is pleasant, down to earth, reachable, and relatable. Catherine continues to learn, grow, and impact every life she touches in a very special way.

It is evident that she has been called to this field and her work, EVERYDAY shows it!

I really appreciate how you approach your emails/newsletter. I’ve subscribed to other newsletters that seemed like they’d be helpful, but then the content felt like it’s just a teaser for the course/product, and I’ve unsubscribed from those because they’re frustrating.

Your emails are different: the content of your emails feels whole (you share the full extent of your thoughts), and any course would be a bonus/deeper dive. Thanks for being different!
