Ms Catherine Kvikstad
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
“Confidential, caring and personal help is my speciality. My approach is “user-friendly”, collaborative and professional.”
About Me
I offer confidential, caring support for individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges. My approach helps you explore concerns in a 'user-friendly' and collaborative way. We work together to understand your unique dynamics, fostering clearer communication and stronger connections. Clients appreciate the personal, professional guidance that feels both accessible and deeply supportive. I aim to create a space where everyone feels heard and understood.
Approach
Confidential, caring guidance shapes how sessions unfold, with a calm, practical tone that keeps things user-friendly and respectful of your pace. In my Castro Valley office or through online sessions we focus on clear, attainable steps—tracking patterns, practicing new ways of communicating, and using brief between-session check-ins to build momentum. Work often looks like mapping relationship dynamics, unpacking control or burnout cycles, and experimenting with small changes that reduce stress and improve mood. People navigating transitions, relationship strains, or young-adult and family challenges tend to find this approach helpful.
