Catriona Schmidt is a licensed therapist and founder of Schmidt Counseling Services, where she provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy for adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and perinatal mental health concerns. She has advanced training in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through Postpartum Support International and specializes in supporting individuals during pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, infertility, pregnancy loss, and the transition into parenthood.

Catriona earned her graduate degree in counseling from Johns Hopkins University in Maryland and has worked across clinical settings in both Indiana and Rhode Island, gaining experience supporting diverse client populations in outpatient and community-based mental health environments.

Her therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely supported and understood. Her work is informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and insight-oriented approaches. She helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop effective coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and strengthen communication and interpersonal skills. She integrates practical, evidence-based tools with deeper self-exploration to support lasting emotional growth and resilience.

Clients often describe her as calming, thoughtful, and approachable. She is passionate about helping people gain clarity, build confidence, and create meaningful change during difficult or transitional periods of life.

She offers both in-person therapy in Providence and telehealth services for clients located in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Indiana.
