Cathy Chapman, Ph.D., LCSW, C.Ht., CBP, has been a psychotherapist since 1976. Over the years she has integrated spirituality, psychotherapy, energy work and hypnotherapy into a powerful process of brief therapy. Cathy works from a spiritual and energetic model rather than the traditional medical model.

The spiritual model is based upon Cathy's belief that people are perfect spiritual beings who came into their physical body for the purpose of spiritual growth and, believe it or not, fun. Each and every life event can, if the individual allows, lead to spiritual and emotional growth. Common beliefs such as "I'm not good enough," "I'm unlovable," "Only bad things happen to me," "My value depends upon what I do," are spiritual issues that sabotage healthy relationships with God, ourselves and others.

Cathy journeys with individuals helping them discover their truth. Each person is made in the image and likeness of God; therefore, since God is Love, each person is Love. Each of us are learning to be the Love that we are as we learn to forgive, ask forgiveness, and accept ourselves and others. The journey brings us to realize that we all are part of the divine Oneness.

Cathy's own journey to wholeness has prepared her to share what she has discovered about spiritual growth. Cathy began as a traditional Roman Catholic and was in the convent as a Dominican Sister of Houston, TX for 20 years. Those fruitful 20 years taught her much about spiritual growth, living with others and the struggle to be her authentic self. While in the convent Cathy was introduced to Centering Prayer, a mystical form of prayer. She began to sense that God was within and not some being somewhere "out there."

Towards the end of her convent sojourn, Cathy was introduced to energy work through Healing Touch™. This precipitated a radical change in her spiritual life as well as beginning years of study of various forms of energy work. The experience of God, Higher Power, All That Is, Universal Love, became a constant and daily reality. Some of the multitude of spiritual helpers on the inner planes began to reveal themselves to her. Soon she became aware of the dark side of the spiritual world and discovered that her path included re-membering the dark to the Light. As her involvement in mysticism grew, Cathy found the structure of the convent restrictive and choose to leave.

Cathy's doctorate is in Mind/Body Psychology from The Union Institute (www.tui.edu). She holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Stephen F. Austin State University and a Master of Arts in Theology from the University of Notre Dame. Cathy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Hypnotherapist (C.Ht.), and a Certified Body Talk Practitioner (www.bodytalksystem.com). In addition, she has received certificates in Advanced Hypnotherapy and Release Therapy. She has also studied Pranic Healing and is a Reiki Master. Her latest area of study has been PSYCH-K™ (www.psych-k.com).

Cathy's spiritual growth continued through her studies of various forms of mysticism and prayer. She was given the simple 5-Step healing prayer called Soul Healing.
