Catherine Kluge , LPC

Catherine Kluge, who often goes by Cate, is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has been practicing since 2001. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University and brings roughly two decades of experience working across a private hospital, a community mental health center, and a substance use treatment center. The LPC credential indicates a state license to provide professional counseling services and reflects formal training and supervision in the field.

Catherine believes people have an instinct toward wellness when they are treated with dignity and respect. She honors the strengths and life tools that have brought each person to their current point and meets clients where they are, using empathy and collaboration to support change. She frames progress as a process that takes strength and determination, and she partners with individuals to explore new perspectives and increase functioning while they pursue personal goals.

Her clinical work is informed by a client-centered stance and familiarity with cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She works with teens and adults on concerns such as depression, stress and anxiety, substance use, major life changes, grief, bipolar depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, conflict and anger, and relationship issues. Catherine approaches each case with respect for the person’s story and a focus on practical steps toward healthier outcomes, and she would be privileged to work with clients ready to engage in that process.
