My name is Catherine Mettauer. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from Hendrix College and my Master of Social Work from University of Houston. Currently, I hold licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. After earning my MSW, I worked as a case manager on the psychiatric response team for the Memorial Hermann hospital system for 3 years, and over the last year I have transitioned into private practice.

Currently, I work with adolescents aged 13-18, adults 18 and over, and elders aged 65+. I utilize a mix of treatment modalities to ensure a good fit for clients. I have advanced training in the areas of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Person-Centered, Strengths-Based and Solution Focused Therapies. My specialties include working with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I enjoy working with grief, trauma, and relational issues (i.e., peer relationships, relationship issues, and family conflict) as well.

I take a structured approach tailored to the client’s goals and needs. I assign homework when the client is open to engaging in completing homework outside of session. My goal as a therapist is to guide those who are seeking meaning towards useful coping skills that enable an enriching life.

Outside of work, I enjoy road cycling, testing out new recipes with my husband, and being anywhere outdoors!
