“I am not broken. I am whole, worthy, and enough. I am reclaiming every part of myself that was once silenced, shamed, or forgotten. I am no longer the woman who waits—I am the woman who remembers who she is.

I walk in my truth, I speak with power, I live from love. My voice matters. My story matters. I matter. Every cell of my body vibrates with vitality, confidence, and peace. I am becoming the most radiant, aligned version of myself—and nothing can stop the woman I’m becoming.”- Cathy Armstrong 

 

Cathy Armstrong, MS, LPC-S, RN, CIFNP, *Doctorate in Religious Studies (Spiritual Healing, Faith , & Prayer *non secular, unrelated to counseling)

Cathy has over 30 years of clinical experience and offers a Unique Integrative Approach to Mental Health, Wellness, and Neuroscience-Based Healing in Corpus Christi and Across Texas. Healing for the Mind, Body, Heart, and Soul.

Spirituality, Prayer, and Healing

For many individuals, spirituality is central to the meaning-making process during illness, times of crisis, trauma, and grief. Prayer has been associated with greater emotional resilience, peace, and hope in cancer patients (Koenig, 2012). Incorporating spiritual practices into counseling may offer a culturally and personally meaningful path to healing.

Cathy specializes in addressing trauma, anxiety, grief and life's challenges with a science-backed, whole-person approach that combines modern psychology with ancient wisdom traditions. Her methods focus on neuroplasticity, emotional regulation, and personalized strategies to help women break free from self-limiting patterns and create lasting change.

Ready to take the next step toward a healthier, more empowered life? Let’s work together!

If you’re looking for a therapist who honors both the science of psychology and the depth of personal meaning, you are welcome you to reach out.

Cathy's approach to mental health is rooted in mindfulness, holism, and somatic practices, setting her apart from traditional mental healthcare. Rather than focusing on labels or diagnoses, Cathy explores the whole person and takes the time to understand you as an individual and explore your unique experiences. She offers a variety of different services including LPC Supervision, CEU Training Courses, and the 40 hour LPC Supervisor Training Program. Cathy offer basic, intermediate, and advanced training in hypnotherapy, mindfulness training and meditation.
