Catherine K. Thompson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with 5 years of experience working with a variety of populations.

She also specializes in assisting women navigating the various challenges of motherhood, along with people of color.

Catherine is extending an olive branch in hopes that you will make the hard decision now to achieve the peace you desire in the future.
