Your well-being matters deeply, and I would be honored to help you thrive.
Catherine Crowe, Licensed Professional Counselor
I believe counseling is a collaborative process, and I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to better understand who you are and where you’d like to go in your life. Together, we’ll explore what you want to change—whether that’s within yourself, your relationships, or your current circumstances—and create a path toward the future you envision.
In our work, I’ll provide practical coping skills, new perspectives, and supportive guidance to help you navigate challenges and move forward with greater confidence. I especially enjoy helping clients who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in life; experiencing sadness, low motivation, or frustration; balancing the demands of work and caregiving; struggling with self-esteem, body image, or relationship difficulties; or simply wanting more fulfillment in their personal or professional lives.
My goal is to offer a safe, compassionate space where you will feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in supporting women through meaningful, high‑quality mental health care—whether in my Leesburg, VA office or online. My practice is a serene and confidential space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, find clarity, and move toward a grounded, peaceful sense of self and connection.

Professional Background & Qualifications
I grew up in Northern Virginia and began my academic journey at James Madison University, where I majored in Psychology and minored in Business. After graduation, I spent more than a decade working in the IT field as a data analyst. While the work was stable, I realized I was meant to contribute something more impactful to the world—something that aligned with my strengths and values and allowed me to make a real difference in people’s lives. That calling led me to pursue a career in counseling.
In 2013, I earned my master’s degree in Forensic Psychology – Professional Counselor Licensure Track from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC. My training included a practicum and internship as a School Psychologist in the Special Education department of an elementary school in Southeast DC, followed by work as a case manager and counselor in community mental health for my residency.
After becoming licensed as a Professional Counselor in Virginia, I began working in outpatient private practice. Since then, I have practiced in both solo and group settings, and I have provided clinical supervision to pre-licensed counselors.
Ongoing learning is a cornerstone of my professional growth, and I have completed extensive clinical training in a variety of areas, some of which include:
The Gottman Method
Level 1: Couples Therapy
Neurodiverse Relationships:
Individual Therapy for the Neurotypical Partner: When Your Partner is on the Autism Spectrum
Association for Autism and Neurodiversity (AANE)
Training 101: Fundamentals of Working with Neurodiverse Couples in Therapy
Certification 201: Case Presentations and Advanced Topics in Neurodiverse Couples Therapy
Internal Family Systems (IFS): Online Circle introductory program
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Basic Trauma Processing
Suicide Prevention:
Collaborative Assessment & Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and The Clinician’s Suicide Prevention Summit
These experiences and training have deepened my ability to support clients through a wide range of challenges, from relationship concerns and life stressors to trauma, anxiety, and depression.
