Testimonials
I’m not sure I understand the process, but the results are phenomenal. … Cathy is a miracle worker.
“I found Cathy by chance and in six months she has transformed my outlook on life. When I first visited with Cathy I felt my problems were so great I didn’t even know where to begin. Leaving her office after that first session I felt a lightness and clarity I hadn’t felt in years. In addition to being a philosopher and psychologist, Cathy also has a wealth of common sense. No matter how big the problem appears, how confused the mind or tangled the heart, Cathy has the ability to cut to the core of the matter and break it down into a bite-sized piece. She is passionate about her work, but also kind, warm and loving; it is clear that she truly cares about helping people become happier, healthier versions of themselves.
Whether you’re flailing about in a professional dead end, nursing a broken heart, untangling complicated family history, breaking lifelong bad habits – or all of the above! – Cathy acts as a catalyst for understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, peace and, most importantly, lasting change. I’m not quite sure I understand the process, but the results are phenomenal. In short, Cathy is a miracle worker.“

I was skeptical … especially about whether the energy work was for real – it is, and she is.
“I was a bit skeptical when I first came to Cathy, especially about whether the energy work was for real — it is, and she is. I’m honestly starting to believe there’s nothing I can’t do, can’t figure out, with Cathy on my side. What else is there?“

Two weeks after meeting with her I was offered a new job in a more exciting environment and that paid more than double what I was making at my old job!
“Catherine is a transformative source of clarity and light. After sharing my job frustration and general lack of passion in my career with a friend he recommend I have a session with her. Cathy helped me to become aware of unhealthy patterns in my life, of areas where I was blocking myself from seeing my true full potential. Two weeks after meeting with her I was offered a new job in a more exciting environment and that paid more than double what I was making at my old job!
Cathy frees me up to the knowledge that my biggest dreams and desires are attainable. Every time I connect with her, whether in an office session or through emails, I feel strengthened and aware of my greater purpose. She is tremendously gifted and wise, able to point out aspects of my life that I, and even my family, can’t see. Cathy gives me the support and inspiration to see my life from a higher perspective, to work through fears that hold me back, to recognize and own my power and passion, and to live my life to it’s fullest possible potential. Her healing is selfless, honest, revelatory, and full of grace. With her I always feel safe and supported, knowing she will come through with just the thing I need to hear. She is brilliant, amazing, lovely and fabulous!”

Non-traditional therapy is refreshingly different: no dwelling on your past, just creating your new future…
“I have been working with Cathy for about six months and have found her to be incredibly generous and supportive. Her non–traditional therapy is refreshingly different, it stops you from dwelling in the past and allows you to create your new reality. She is teaching me to trust myself and listen to my intuition, as well as how powerful faith in myself, and Life, can be.”
– PD, Executive, New York, NY
I went to traditional therapy until I was so bored with myself I couldn’t stand it. After seeing Cathy, changes occurred immediately, in the most soft, sweet, calm and kind way.
“Upon moving to New York I did what any New Yorker does … I went to therapy. And I continued to go until I was so positively bored with myself I could no longer stand it. I realized that knowing oneself is not the same as eliciting deep-rooted change. I took a friend’s advice and went to see Cathy. Changes occurred immediately, in the most soft, sweet, calm and kind way.
Cathy embodies all the things I believe in: understanding self, spirituality, and the ability to achieve the life you truly want. She has helped me shift and lovingly acknowledge the power I have to go wherever, and become whomever, I please. As women in a “man’s world” we are often expected to operate on masculine terms and sometimes forget that a drop of femininity can soften the hardest of obstacles and create beauty. Cathy helped me to find that place again.”

By addressing the root of the issue, the healing is permanent and the benefits are truly life-changing.
“I cannot express my gratitude – and pure amazement – at Catherine’s ability to help one heal and gather the right tools to live a balanced life. By addressing the root of the issue, the healing is permanent and the benefits are truly life-changing. I attribute the success of her work not only to Catherine’s ‘method’, but also to her humanistic approach. I could sense her understanding, compassion and true desire to help me move forward in my life with gusto. Most importantly, she radiates a tremendous amount of positive energy, giving each session the ‘spark’ to be effective regardless of your mood when you walked in the door. Still, her most amazing asset is her ability to read through your words, to go behind stage so to speak, see the underlying current, and then to verbalize it in a way that is easily digestible and enlightening. She takes all pieces, makes sense of them, and then presents them to you in a picture-is-worth-a-thousand-words kind of picture.
After working with Cathy, challenges tested my progress. But she’d given me the psychological tools to weather the storms of life and now I can’t be thrown off course. – What a miracle that is! I feel so blessed and fortunate to have worked with Catherine on dissolving thought patterns that were paralyzing and blocking me from my true potential. To have learned the psychological tools that ensure stability even in the midst of greatest storms. And, ultimately, to have opened up to my highest and best future. Make sure you go through all three Objectives of the practice – each, more valuable than the one before!“

A high-stress, high-paying career, nearly estranged from the family, an abusive relationship, feelings of stress and inadequacy, self-destructive behaviors – is a recipe for … transformation.
“When I first came to Cathy, I was in the midst of a great wave of personal change and discovery. At that time I had a high-stress, high-paying career that left me with little time to enjoy the rewards of my efforts. I was nearly estranged from my family and my romantic life was abusive at best. I had been coping with my stress and feelings of inadequacy by binging and purging, excessive exercise and the occasional frantic spending spree. From the outside I had built a facade that suggested success and joy when in actual fact, I was completely miserable.
Over the course of two years of working with Catherine (in person and by phone), I have left my job, my previous relationship, traveled the world, become infinitely closer to my family, and am soon to be engaged to an incredibly loving, caring, supportive man. The work I did with Catherine was critical to all of this. She helped me make the most important change all: loving myself and letting go of the control I thought I needed to have in every situation. Truly, I have achieved so much with Catherine’s help and guidance.
She has given me a toolbox full of tricks and tips to reconnect with my center and my desires. Through this process I’ve felt safe and cared for; I’ve gained a joy and comfort that I’d previously only experienced in fleeting moments. Catherine has helped me to live the life I’ve always dreamed of. It is absolutely beautiful.“

When she speaks, I feel like I am hearing the real deal and not some bullshit that is “one size fits all” or the catchphrase of the month. I can’t tell you how much I heart her!
“I wasn’t hesitant to work with Cathy, but, I wasn’t sure HOW exactly she was going to go about the work, and concerned that I wouldn’t get any benefit from just one session. After working with Cathy I felt such a huge release of pressure. I didn’t even realize I needed this – which makes it even more beautiful! Since my session with Cathy, it’s like a cork has been released and the champagne is flowing. I’m more bubbly! Cathy honed in on ME. She saw things in me that I wasn’t seeing, and heard things that I wasn’t hearing. By doing that, she offered me some very simple tweaking in my thinking that has helped A LOT. Also: her resources and reading list are off the chain! Even though we did our work over a month ago, I am still riding high and moving forward because of the reading list she made for me.
With Cathy, there is a level of intellectual rigor that I appreciate and trust. When she speaks, I feel like I am hearing the real deal and not some bullshit that is “one size fits all” or the catchphrase of the month. She has shared some true wisdom. It’s simple, uncomplicated and easily applied. I think her work is so beneficial because the conversations you have are so loving and soothing.
As a result of that one session, I feel lighter. I feel gentler. I don’t have the need to DO IT ALL NOW. When I am in a moment of distress, I repeat some of the things Cathy said to myself and I feel better. ☺ I can only imagine what she can do for others.”

From fear and anxiety … to calm, passion and purpose!
“When I met Cathy I could see immediately that she was kind and knowledgeable and that I was in good hands. Throughout my life I have been cautious, not feeling safe. Cathy was able to see my unique quality, to explain the power I have to choose, and that I am safe, in a way that was unbelievably life-changing. After my session, I felt more grounded and safe than ever before in my life. I felt lighter, like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. A lot of what I was going through was pretty unconscious, and to have Cathy bring it all to the light, I just feel so relieved and at peace now. The energy work was extremely powerful, but one the best features of the work for me was her vast knowledge on specific, individual ways to help me. This was no cookie-cutter approach, at all. She was an intent listener, extremely in tune to what I needed at the time.
After working with Cathy only once, I have a deep sense of calm – real calm. I am more focused in work and play. I have been moving forward with my biz at lightning speed, making ground, where I always felt so stuck. I feel with all my senses my desires and what I want to achieve in this lifetime. It is so liberating. So freeing. I would absolutely recommend Cathy to anyone struggling, or looking to find their truth path in life. If I had one word to describe our session, it is TRANSFORMATION. Her work is truly powerful.“
– Lisa Consiglio Ryan, Founder Whole Health Designs, Annapolis, MD
Anything is possible & Cathy will show the way!
“Cathy is an extraordinary woman and her dedication, expertise and genuine compassion are always present. Her approach, which is quite unique, has helped me grow and evolve tremendously in the short time I have worked with her. She is both informative and supportive, and through her guidance, I am responsible for creating and living the life I want on all levels. Anything is possible and Cathy will show the way…she is a true inspiration! “
– AF, Photographer, New York, NY
Now I know I can have the life I want.
“The work I have done with Catherine has brought me a much deeper understanding of my ability to have the life that I desire with all of the qualities that I have longed for. Our work has helped me to connect with what I am yearning for and to recognize how many of the obstacles are of my own making and just as easily of my unmaking. I love the meditative verbalization and affirmations at the end of each session; they make me feel released from past patterns, and so nurtured. I recommend Dr. Collautt to anyone who is confused or searching for how they really feel. Your life will be richer because of it.”
– KW, Pilates Instructor, Woodstock, NY
I knew that I needed some help figuring things out, but I wasn’t sure if just one hour with someone could change my patterns. – It did.
“When I came to Cathy I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but I could see immediately that she had my best interest at heart. Still, I wasn’t sure if just one hour with someone could change my patterns. It did. Cathy helped me see how much the “old stuff” from my past was holding me back, and helped me dissolve those old patterns. I’m truly in awe of Cathy’s powerful presence and her ability to recognize what needs to shift – and to communicate it in such a loving and encouraging way. I truly believe that my one session with Cathy has changed my entire outlook on life, collaboration and boundaries. I can see the way I interact with others now, and I’m taking on partners and bringing support into my business like never before. I recommend Cathy’s work to anyone who knows they need to let go of something in order to reach new levels in life. Cathy’s work is so powerful and transformative that you can’t afford not to get in on the magic.
I’ve worked with other coaches and metaphysical people, but because of Cathy’s academic background I felt like I could really trust her suggestions. With other people, I sometimes doubt where their suggestions are coming from, but with Cathy I know that she understands the human psyche, and has a wonderful life herself, so I know she practices what she preaches. And it makes me love her even more!”

Only weeks after working with Cathy, I was filled with a new confidence and met the love of my life. One year later, I was debt free and engaged to be married.
“When I first went to see Catherine, she helped me realize that I had a deep desire to pull myself out of debt gracefully and find a life partner. Weeks later, I was struck with new confidence, a clear financial strategy AND I connected with the love of my life. A year later, I am debt-free and engaged to be married. There is no doubt in my mind that it was Catherine’s mysterious brilliance and uniquely creative, pragmatic and healing techniques that allowed me to effortlessly realign with my true path of thriving and fulfillment. Catherine’s methods worked themselves to my core, so that I could reawaken self-love and self-appreciation, and discover clarity, ease and fun in the sometimes confusing and challenging process of life and growth.
Catherine is sharp, well-informed, intuitive, compassionate, inspiring and truly, a phenomenon in the realms of supporting self-empowerment and growth. She will guide you towards your richest happiness.“
– Ruthie Streiter, Founder Conscious Body, New York, NY
Cathy’s devotion to the outcome of my happiness was completely awe–inspiring …
“It was almost too easy for me to imagine what I wanted in life (big or small) but much more demanding and seemingly impossible was figuring out how to get it, or even where to start. With Cathy as my catalyst I realize now — more than ever — what I want, and how I can get it with the utmost respect and compassion for the world around me. Cathy’s devotion to the outcome of my happiness was completely awe–inspiring; in simple and uncomplicated terms she empowered me to make great things happen, and in my experience that is a rare and beautiful event that I’ll take with me forever.”
– PS, Designer, New York, NY
Confidence, hard work, and sleeping like a baby …
“Cathy has a powerful and effective way of getting to the heart of the answers that I seek, the personal improvement for which I strive, and the many goals and dreams (career and otherwise) that I am working towards. She has naturally instilled me with an ability to strike the ideal balance between hard work and an inner calmness that all will unfold exactly the way it is intended – today, tomorrow and the next day. As a result, I’m happier than ever, I’m sleeping like a baby, and I’m surging with more confidence than I’ve ever had in my life.“
– Matt, Writer/Producer, New York, NY
As a yoga and meditation teacher, I’ve encountered all types of therapy and all types of healers. I could not recommend anyone more highly than Cathy.
“I was in a happy and level place in my life when I first went to see Cathy and did so based solely on the overwhelming enthusiasm of a friend of mine who had worked with her. My friend was so excited about the work she was doing with Cathy that, well, I just had to meet her. I can honestly say that after just one session, I felt better, clearer and more empowered than when I walked in. I’m a yoga and meditation teacher and have been in and out of therapy since the age of 12 when my parents divorced. I’ve had plenty of experience in the personal-development arena, and have encountered all types of therapy and all types of healers. Cathy is the real deal.
Cathy is warm, present and completely committed to her clients. Our work together is uplifting and cuts straight to the heart of the matter. She has helped me tremendously and I could not recommend anyone more highly. MasterCard has stolen what should be Cathy’s tag line: Priceless!“
– Sarah Bernier, Co-Founder Relax Already, New York, NY
Within a few months after that first session with Catherine, I manifested – for less money – a beautiful, completely refurbished, totally safe, unbelievably clean, light-filled apartment!
“Catherine’s work is powerful, effective and life–changing. When I first came to Catherine I was crawling out of a crisis period and felt as though I was stuck in paste. During our first session, I was nothing less than stunned at her powers of perception and her peaceful, disarming presence. In a remarkably short time she was able to accurately pinpoint many of my deeply-held beliefs that were keeping me “stuck”. She communicated very clearly the lens through which I was viewing my life, while offering an alternate lens that was full of light and love.
Catherine delivers all of her insight in a truly non–judgmental and kind manner. By the end of the session, I felt a genuine shift in my energy and in my sense of peace and hopefulness. I remember thinking that just her perspective – all by itself – was worth the session. But in the coming weeks, the energy work she conducted during the session proved to be invaluable. After our work together, I was able to watch my old habits like a movie reel, knowing that from this point on they were changing and that I could change with less effort than I had ever imagined. I was able to accept new patterns – to accept love in a new way, to say “yes” to wonderful changes in my career and to believe that I could do things that I never thought possible.
Before I met with Catherine, I was living with my husband and daughter in a run-down, dark, unsafe apartment with things breaking all the time. I hated it. Within a few months after that first session with Catherine, I manifested – for less money – a beautiful, completely refurbished, totally safe, unbelievably clean, full of light apartment where everything works and I want for nothing! I walk around every day feeling thankful and amazed.
My subsequent sessions with Catherine have been over the phone and they have absolutely been just as effective and remarkable as the first. In fact, they may have been more comfortable at times, since I was able to get comfortable on my own couch and remain in meditation and thought following the session.
Ultimately, Catherine has guided me in harnessing, appreciating and loving my own power. She has given me the freedom to forgive myself and move on with my life. She has made me a believer in my own ability to be the capable captain of my own life and to confidently take myself in whatever wonderful direction I desire.“

Cutting through with commonsense …
“After working with Catherine, my clarity and focus are much more accessible. Her work with energy is a powerful and effective tool, and the foundation of her work uses commonsense in a way that cuts right through the emotional turmoil that so often gets in the way of what we are trying to achieve.“
– GP, Writer and Advertising Executive, New York, NY
Coming through the most challenging time in my life … with balance, clarity – and success.
“At the time I started working with Catherine I was in the middle of starting graduate school, planning a wedding, and leading my business through a tumultuous and difficult period. Catherine’s coaching and guidance not only enabled me to prioritize and successfully overcome my challenges to achieve my goals, but her perspective allowed me focus on what was most important in my life. She is an excellent listener and coach, and was able to unearth and foster the balance and clarity I was seeking. Catherine is a true partner in your success and has unique insight. Going into sessions with her was like entering a secret haven to divulge your dreams, fears, and hopes. Catherine takes all that you want and helps you create a plan for making it happen. Thank you Catherine for assisting me through that most challenging time in my life.”

Email Testimonials
The relief and comfort and peace of mind of knowing that she was there for me when life threw a giant curveball was utterly priceless.
“I recently had first hand experience of Cathy’s email support during a time of personal crisis. The relief and comfort and peace of mind of knowing that she was there for me when life threw a giant curveball was utterly priceless. Her unique and brilliant perspective and precious words of wisdom during this time helped me come through it with so much more poise and clarity and confidence than I ever thought myself capable.”

“Cathy frees me up to the knowledge that my biggest dreams and desires are attainable. Every time I connect with her, whether in an office session or through emails, I feel strengthened and aware of my greater purpose. The energy work is mystical and powerful, but the emails are amazing especially when I have a question or concern in between sessions. … With her I always feel safe and supported, knowing she will come through with just the thing I need.”

Phone Appointments Testimonials
Effective and remarkable …
“My [phone sessions] with Catherine have … absolutely been just as effective and remarkable as the [in–person session].
