Catherine Carpenko

I am a registered psychotherapist and successful serial entrepreneur who assists psychotherapists to grow a thriving private practice. Propelled by curiosity about the human psyche, I have lived and studied extensively cultivating a wealth of knowledge and expertise that I bring to my consulting endeavours.It is a privilege and joy to work with individuals, groups and communities over many years as an educator, therapist/supervisor, writer, evocateur and business innovator. With the growing understanding of the importance of mental ease this is the IDEAL TIME to invest in one's practice. Psychotherapists are needed now more than ever. My goal is to assist psychotherapists to run highly productive and thriving practices so they can reach as many people as possible with their gifts, knowledge, and expertise.As a successful business person and therapist these fused skills form the foundation of this program aimed at your success.
