Mental wellness with a friendly voice.

Hi, I’m Catia—therapist, coach, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and proud Wimberley business owner. I’m also the voice behind Couch Time with Cat, your new favorite space for real, heart-opening conversations about mental wellness.

With over a decade of experience supporting clients across the globe, I bring a trauma-informed, soul-centered approach to healing and growth. Whether I’m sitting across from someone in my practice or speaking into the mic, my mission is the same: to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered to live a life that feels like yours.

I’ve worked with everyone from high-performing creatives and entrepreneurs to men and women navigating anxiety, grief, burnout, relationships, and the deep work of becoming whole again. My style is equal parts professional and personal—grounded in science, but always guided by heart. 

Here in Wimberley, I run a thriving private practice, Bright Light Marriage and Family Therapy, that serves both local and international clients. Now, with Couch Time with Cat on KWVH, I get to share the same compassion, clarity, and practical tools with our beautiful Hill Country community—and beyond.

Couch Time with Cat is an extension of everything I believe: that healing happens in relationship, that stories matter, and that you don’t have to do it all alone. So whether you're tuning in from right here in Wimberley or from across the world—welcome. Let’s talk about what it means to be human, and how we keep showing up for ourselves, together.
