Catherine Franks
Life can feel so hopeless when you’re longing to be loved, understood, and chosen. Feeling caught in the same relationship patterns, constantly second guessing yourself, and wondering if you can trust your own instincts can feel exhausting. These cycles can disrupt your everyday life.
You don’t have to keep carrying this on your own. Together, we can help create something that feels lighter and grounded in your values and the life you want to live.
Hi, my name is Catherine Franks. I’m a Marriage and Family Intern here at Mathews Counseling. I partner with individuals, couples and families to provide a safe space where you can show up as your true self and feel empowered in your next steps. I am passionate about helping you through the experiences that brought you here. Whether you’re processing your IVF journey, a new mother finding herself again, a couple navigating betrayal, or just lost in unfulfilled relationships and loneliness, I’ll work alongside you to help explore your story without guilt or shame. I am an ally in the LGBTQ+ community and privileged to work with people of all genders, cultural backgrounds, abilities, races and life experiences.
Success, as your therapist, is to support you by adding tools to your toolbox. Together, we’ll take this path and discover what’s possible. We’ll develop skills for a secure, authentic connection that is aligned with who you want to be.
I am currently working towards my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University. I serve clients under the direct clinical supervision of Dr. Adaria Baker, LMFT. My background includes years of experience with women’s empowerment, both here and abroad, in both education and small business.
Outside of therapy, I spend time adventuring with my daughter, fiancé, grandpa and pup, Xochi. We love to travel. We seek new yummy bites, local bookstores, and live music. Most days, you’ll find me listening to a podcast or juggling no less than one of five books on my nightstand.
Catherine is a therapist intern meeting with clients in the Cary office and through Telehealth.
