Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Pensacola, FL

Mindfully focused to connect your presenting concern to your system, my style is to meet you where you are whether you need me to explain what we’re doing, or simply direct you. My approach is practical, direct, and occasionally humorous — I believe real progress happens when you feel are both, supported and challenged, not just listened to.

Over 30 years I've worked with individuals, couples, and families through some of the hardest seasons of life: chronic illness, painful grief, relationship breakdowns, severe ADHD, life hindering eating disorders, destructive anger, and major life transitions.

I singly raised my three children, and came to realize clinical training doesn’t compare to life experience... theory helps it’s just not enough to capture the big picture.

I've also spent significant time working with military families and first responders, rich in life experience. They seem to prefer my steady, no-nonsense mindset at times.

Also, a well trained 15 year-old Australian Shepherd occasionally joins sessions — let me know if you'd prefer this.

Mental health is rarely just one thing. Anxiety and substance use. Bipolar and relationships. Trauma and the body. I work with the full picture, not just the label.

I am Cathy, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 16 years of experience working with adults across a wide range of emotional and behavioral health challenges. I bring a depth of specialized training that most providers do not carry including Biofeedback, Art Therapy, the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and evidence-based approaches for bipolar, eating disorders, infertility, and end of life. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and transgender inclusive, and I meet every client exactly where they are.

I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and the founder of InnerGrowth Psychiatry and Wellness, where I provide compassionate, evidence-based care through both medication management and psychotherapy. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing is deeply personal, and each individual deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders, stress, and life transitions. I also support individuals navigating relationship challenges, social anxiety, and feelings of loneliness. My style is collaborative and patient-centered, I don’t believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach. Instead, I work closely with you to understand your unique experiences, goals, and values, and we build a treatment plan together that feels right for you.

Clients often describe me as warm, attentive, and easy to talk to. I create a safe and supportive space where you can be open and honest, whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional healing, or personal growth. I integrate therapeutic techniques with thoughtful medication management when appropriate, ensuring that care is both holistic and effective.

My strength lies in my ability to balance clinical expertise with genuine human connection. I am deeply committed to helping you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Taking the first step toward mental wellness can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.
