We all get stuck

Despite our best efforts, we all get burnt out, overwhelmed, or stuck and can’t find a way out. I help people understand their emotions and how to manage them to create more satisfying relationships with themselves and others.

While there are several different types of psychotherapies available, I use evidence-based therapies that are heavily researched, have higher rates of success, and provide quicker results than other approaches. I see the end goal of therapy as learning how to be your own therapist. And my role in that is to provide you with the tools and insight to do just that.

Meet Dr. Catella

I’m a UCSF and San Francisco VA trained licensed clinical psychologist. I’m a proud board member of the Bay Area Trauma Recovery Clinic, co-author of The Emotional Intelligence Skills Workbook, and clinical author of the FDA-cleared prescription digital therapeutic, Stanza. In less fancy terms, I’m a relentless fighter for the underserved, stigmatized, and misunderstood. Outside of my private practice, my work focuses on democratizing access to effective therapies.
