The Women’s Emotional Wellness Center and Consulting Firm has announced a major expansion of its services, enhancing its ability to serve women and families across Texas, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC. The center, led by Dr. Cynthia Catchings, specializes in trauma-informed, culturally sensitive therapy and consulting. With a focus on addressing life transitions, trauma, and women’s mental health, the center aims to bridge gaps in care for underserved populations.
Dr. Catchings, a licensed clinical social worker and trilingual therapist, has over a decade of experience delivering innovative, evidence-based therapy. She holds more than ten certifications in trauma-informed services and leads the center with a philosophy rooted in empathy, understanding, and measurable outcomes.
“Our mission is to create a space where women feel seen and supported as they work through their emotional challenges,” said Dr. Catchings. “This expansion reflects our commitment to meeting the growing demand for accessible, culturally sensitive mental health care.”
A Legacy of Advocacy: Supporting Women and Families
The Women’s Emotional Wellness Center builds on Dr. Catchings’ legacy of advocacy and leadership. Throughout her career, she has worked tirelessly to address systemic issues impacting vulnerable populations. From serving as Chair of the RGV Human Trafficking Coalition to Co-Chairing the Hidalgo County Family Violence Task Force, her efforts have consistently emphasized collaboration and meaningful change.
Dr. Catchings’ work as a senior trainer for federal agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Energy, further illustrates her commitment to tackling complex social challenges. These roles allow her to share her expertise in trauma-informed care with organizations dedicated to improving lives.
With the expansion, the center also plans to strengthen its consulting services, offering specialized training and development programs for professionals in social work, healthcare, and education.
Global Advocacy Informed by Cultural Awareness
In addition to her local impact, Dr. Catchings has made significant strides in global advocacy. Having conducted ethnographic research in more than 45 countries—including Greece, Turkey, Thailand, and India—she brings a unique international perspective to her work.

These insights shape the Women’s Emotional Wellness Center’s approach to therapy, ensuring that services resonate with individuals from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Dr. Catchings’ ability to blend global insight with localized care has set the center apart as a leader in addressing the unique mental health needs of underserved communities.
Empowering Women Through Education and Resources

Dr. Catchings has authored several publications aimed at equipping individuals with practical tools for improving emotional well-being. These books focus on topics such as navigating life transitions, overcoming trauma, and building resilience.
Additionally, Dr. Catchings continues to inspire the next generation of mental health professionals as an adjunct professor at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley. Her academic work emphasizes the importance of culturally responsive care, preparing students to address the complex needs of diverse communities.
