About the Practice

Catherine Hadeed (she/her), LCSW, LICSW is a queer therapist who shows up with warmth, authenticity, and deep respect for each client’s lived experience. She specializes in working with LGBTQ+ folks of all ages who are navigating identity, relationships, anxiety, depression, and the lasting impacts of trauma. Catherine’s therapeutic style is collaborative and genuine—she strives to create a space where clients don’t have to explain the basics of who they are and where their full selves are welcomed.

Her approach draws from trauma-informed, relational, and mindfulness-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and solution-focused therapy. Catherine’s work is shaped not only by clinical training, but also by lived experience within the queer community and a strong commitment to anti-oppressive practice.

Over the years, Catherine has supported clients in community mental health, nonprofit, and private practice settings. She currently offers virtual sessions to clients across Virginia and Washington, DC.
