Holistic Corpus Christi Licensed Professional Counselor, Cathy Armstrong MS, LPC-S, Registered Nurse, Fellow-NBCCH offers Specialized Trauma Informed Counseling & Clinical Hynotherapy for Women, Men, and Couples in person and online.
Cathy holds both secular and non secular degrees and is an ordained interfaith minister with a doctorate degree in world religions, mystical and metaphysical Christianity.
We specialize in adult mental health, couples relationship issues across the lifespan with a focus on anxiety and overwhelm, people‑pleasing and burnout, depression and emptiness, grief and loss, narcissistic and relational trauma, body image and food struggles, reproductive and fertility concerns, postpartum changes, menopause, and major life transitions in work, love, and identity.
Together we work at the level of the nervous system and the soul, integrating interpersonal neurobiology, somatic movement and breath, Brainspotting, energy psychology, and spiritually grounded care so your mind, body, and spirit are finally on the same team.
• Anxiety, panic, chronic worry, or feeling “always on”, OCD
• Depression, numbness, emptiness, or loss of joy and meaning
• High‑functioning burnout, imposter's syndrome, overgiving, and carrying the mental load for everyone else
• Trauma, C‑PTSD, childhood emotional neglect, and relational betrayal (including narcissistic abuse)
• Perfectionism, self‑criticism, and never feeling “enough” no matter how much you do
• Body image, emotional eating, and healing from diet culture and disordered eating
• Fertility decisions, pregnancy loss, postpartum anxiety/depression, and reproductive grief
• Menopause, hormonal shifts, and identity changes in midlife and beyond
• Grief after death, divorce, health changes, or kids leaving home
• Faith shifts, spiritual crisis, and wanting spirituality without shame or fear
A Holistic Sanctuary for Inner Healing & Personal Growth located in Corpus Christi at 6901 Holly Road 78414
Quick and easy can start a process. It rarely finishes one. The pattern — the trauma, the perfectionism, the inner critic, the old coping skill — is where the deeper sanctuary work lives.
In this practice, we don’t just talk about these issues—we track how they live in your body, your relationships, and your spirit. Sessions may include Brainspotting, somatic grounding, energy psychology, gentle movement, breath, imagery, and spiritual practices (when desired) so healing can reach every layer of you.
Healing does not have to be polished to be real. Sometimes the cracks, the questions, and the unfinished places are exactly where new life begins.
We offer counseling for adults, college students, and motivated seekers who are ready to grow, heal, and create new possibilities. Our work is grounded, compassionate, and deeply attentive to what you need, not just what a textbook says should happen next.
Learn more. Grow gently. Thrive in your own imperfect, beautiful way.
Our integrative approach moves beyond traditional talk therapy. In a welcoming, soulful space, we explore anxiety, depression, addictions, self-sabotaging patterns, and emotional wounds at their roots. Together, we listen for what the mind, body, and spirit are trying to say.
We also provide supportive preparation and integration counseling for clients receiving legally prescribed ketamine treatment, helping you make meaning of the experience and carry insights into everyday life.
Think of it as therapy with a little Austin soul: open-minded, creative, down-to-earth, and respectful of the beautifully imperfect path of becoming whole.
