Dr. Catherine T Birgeneau, PhD

I am writing this testimonial for Dr. Catherine Birgeneau and have utilized her counseling services in the past present and most likely, future. For background, while growing up or even as an adult I had never truly been to a therapist or a counselor. Realizing my life had become dull and repetitive and I had a slew of bad habits and little or low-quality relationships that were taking a toll on my progress I knew I had to try something new. At my stage I wanted to understand why I was not progressing consistently and hitting the mark. So I took the dive to see a counselor that was recommended to me, Dr. Birgeneau. Taking a close professional look, along with a Dr. Birgeneau, about the circumstance of upbringing and my mental traits and characteristics that may have shaped me for good and ill into the person I am today has been invaluable. Dr. Birgeneau was caring in her manner and quickly surmised that an upfront approach with me, because I was ready to engage, was… the way to go and we made quick progress. I know with precision the major themes and goals I need to fix, and work on respectively, and that it's up to me to learn to use the tools I have been given - when the student is ready the teacher will appear. It’s been about 6 months and while I am not entirely thru the woods I am up and running and I know I would not be where I am today, and headed in the direction I am headed, without the caring, guided, principled therapy I have had with Dr. Birgeneau. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
