Cathy Armstrong, MS, LPC-S, RN, NBCCH-F, Rev has devoted her life to helping others heal through a whole-person approach that embraces body, mind, and spirit. With decades of experience in nursing and more than 30 years in professional counseling, Cathy honors her roots in traditional medicine while following her deeper calling toward integrative healing.

Choosing not to pursue a conventional doctorate in psychology or counseling education, Cathy instead earned a non-secular doctorate in Religious Studies and became an ordained interfaith minister. This path reflects her belief that true healing cannot be confined to the cognitive or behavioral alone—it must embrace the spiritual, emotional, and physical dimensions of life. Cathy has guided people of many faiths and traditions, honoring each person’s unique spiritual practice and path.

Her additional training includes certification as a yoga instructor specializing in yoga for depression, anxiety, and trauma; advanced study in somatic therapy, mindfulness, meditation, shamanic counseling, and breathwork; and exploration of holistic disciplines such as Ayurveda and spiritual healing practices. She has also expanded her education into the emerging fields of metabolic and neuro-nutrition, collaborating with physicians to address the biochemical and nutritional roots of mental and physical health challenges.

Cathy’s passion is helping people uncover the deeper causes of their struggles—beyond symptom management—by weaving together evidence-based counseling, integrative practices, and spiritual insight. Her work creates a safe and sacred space where healing can unfold on every level of the self.
