Access the power of your emotions
Emotion-Focused Therapy
My name is Catalina Woldarsky. I’m a clinical psychologist, specialized in pyschotherapy, FSP. Emotions are my compass in psychotherapy and in life. They are fundamentally adaptive and bring forth important information. Sometimes, however they can get out of control and feel overwhelming or seem distant and mysterious. Using a person-centered, experiential approach, I facilitate different emotional processes aimed at transforming maladaptive emotional states to help individuals access adaptive emotional states that inform them of their needs and guide them to take an appropriate course of action in their lives.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one psychotherapy is intended to help individuals understand themselves better and advance in their personal growth. This method is also very effective in helping individuals work through specific difficulties such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, interpersonal difficulties and adjustment issues related to life transitions.
Couple Therapy
Intimate relationships are deeply nourishing and contribute greatly to general life satisfaction. The couple is the basic element of the family unit and when the couple is well, everyone in the family benefits! At times, relationships can feel complicated and overwhelming. Couple therapy is intended to help couples enhance feelings of connection and improve the quality of their relationship.
Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy is the process of promoting physical and psychological changes through the use of ancient practices that constitute yoga. The sessions are private, and personalized, intended to address a specific psychological or emotional difficulty such as depression, anxiety, low self esteem and trauma.
A Space to Breathe and Regulate
Emotion-Focus Therapy Programs for Executives
The demands of leadership can be relentless. The pressure to perform, make critical decisions, and support your teams—while keeping your own well-being in check—can take its toll. Stress accumulates, emotions run high, and the space to pause and reset often feels out of reach.
I offer two dedicated programs designed for executives and entrepreneurs who need more than just coping strategies—they need a space to offload the weight they carry and develop tools to regulate their emotions, build resilience, and lead with clarity.
Lead with empathy. Lead with impact. Discover how tuning into your emotions can transform your leadership.
Inclusive Therapy
Navigating leadership as someone with a marginalized identity brings unique challenges—unspoken biases, systemic barriers, and the weight of representation. This space is for you. A space where you don’t have to explain the invisible load you carry. Where you can process, heal, and strengthen your leadership without compromise. It’s about reclaiming your power, finding alignment, and leading with confidence in environments that weren’t built with you in mind. You don’t have to do this alone.
Executive Therapy
Success at the top comes with immense pressure. When expectations are high and decisions relentless, it’s easy to feel isolated, overwhelmed, or out of alignment with your values. Executive Therapy offers a confidential, strategic space where you can gain clarity, navigate challenges, and reconnect with your purpose. Emotion Focused Therapy offers you a space to unload, to recharge and for deep transformation, so that you can lead with authenticity, resilience, and a renewed sense of direction.

Clinical Psychologist
I consider myself to be an explorer – I love traveling and delving into the world of introspection. I grew up moving between Chile and Canada. The experience of immigration, in combination with my inquisitive nature led me to be a keen observer of human behavior. I studied and trained with Dr. Leslie Greenberg, the founder of emotion-focused therapy at York University in Toronto, Canada. My private practice is based in the beautiful town of Epesses (between Lausanne and Vevey) in the midst of the Unesco World Heritage Lavaux. I also teach in the counseling department at Webster University and training therapists learning Emotion-focused therapy.
