Dr. Catella is an amazing, compassionate and insightful therapist. Her ability to work with clients through devastating life events and unique situations is unparalleled. It is clear that she has a calling for the work and her skills and talents are extensions of her passion. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone and any reason. She exemplifies what excellence in the therapy profession embodies.

Working closely with Dr. C for 4-5 years was an incredibly rewarding experience. She's was very responsive to understanding where I started, helping me to set goals and guide me along the way to personal understanding. I could not have evolved my understanding without her thoughtful insights and guidance. I also now have a stronger set of tools to be able to adapt to future situations. Thank you for applying your incredible skill in my situation. I'm now living the life I wanted to live - and I couldn't have done it without her. I recommend her to all my SF locals.

Dr. Catella is an exceptional, knowledgeable, experienced therapist. I worked with her for over a year to design my exit from my management career to my new chapter as an artist. We covered many aspects of my expectations, my intentions, my hopes and fears. Her listening, support and suggestions were on point and well worth my time and money. I had an excellent experience. At one point my husband and my daughter joined us. It was very helpful. What I learned with her continues to improve my life. As a pandemic update, Dr Catella has been helping us with some family communication dynamics. Our work with her has been extraordinarily valuable. Thanks Stephanie!

Therapists and coaches often consult with each other to navigate tricky, nuanced, and complex clinical and organizational issues; it helps us provide the best possible service to clients. For many years I have regularly consulted with Dr. Steph Catella around areas of personal and professional growth and complex client cases. She is a direct, collaborative, challenging and creative thought partner. I hold myself to a very high standard of practice and seek Steph’s consultation because she also holds herself to a high bar. She is also at the top of my client referral list for clients when my practice is full, or when I can’t see a client because of a conflict of interest. As both a psychologist and colleague she is an incredible talent and resource!
