About Catherine Hunt

Hi, I’m Catherine

I’ve been a therapist for over ten years.

Many individuals and couples I work with experience stress, anxiety, anger, sadness, loneliness, and other feelings due to unsatisfying, disruptive, or toxic relationships.

I help clients make considerable shifts in their lives by combining scientifically proven Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Structural Family Systems Therapy (SFT). CBT helps the individual, while SFT addresses the unhelpful patterns of communication and interaction within the relationship.

Before becoming a therapist, I was an FBI agent.

I’m at my best when in service to others. I’d always been interested in studying people and culture; I tried to satisfy this by working in counterintelligence and terrorism.

I took every course on interviewing, interrogation, and recruiting I could find. I became an FBI Certified Crisis Negotiator and did three temporary duty tours at the U.S. Embassy in Egypt after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

In 2005, I received an appointment as the Assistant Legal Attaché at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. Iraq was nasty at that time, and the Green Zone had been taking regular rocket fire. I clearly remember the day the sirens were blaring, and I was hunkered down in my quarters, repeatedly asking myself, “If I get out of here, how would I like to spend my time?”

There’s nothing like the clarity that comes with life-threatening situations. I learned a lot about myself.

Things changed after that.

Through deep soul-searching, I realized I wanted to be a therapist and work directly with people on a more personal level. For me, the role of a therapist is another form of service.

After completing my tour in Iraq, I resigned from the FBI and enrolled in a clinical social work program to start my therapy practice. The rest, as they say, is history.

I’m now a licensed psychotherapist working with adults, couples, and families. Nothing excites me more than to watch the lives of my clients improve and thrive!
