About
My name is Catherine Tackett I am 37 years old living in North Carolina. I moved here 10 years ago to help my girlfriend who is dealing with the effects of a broken back as well as helping raise my 13 year old granddaughter. I grew up in foster care and through that experience I learned that children need therapist that can relate to them and show them that their past dosent define them. Living in group homes you never know if the person who was there when you went to bed would be there when you woke up, the therapist didn't understand my trauma which made it hard to relate to them. I know that I can help children who are dealing with the same issues I did.
Goals and interests
- Career goal
I have wanted to be a therapist since I was 15. I grew up in foster care and I never felt the therapist understood my pain and trauma. I know with my background of abuse, and growing up in the system I can truly understand the pain of my patients and I could use my experience to let them know that it can get better.
- Graduate school interests
I would love to attend the Swosu grad program for school counseling.
- Outside the classroom
I love to read, write poetry and hang out with my pets. At the moment I am helping raise my granddaughter and I am caring for my girlfriend who is dealing with multiple health issues.
Volunteering
-
I foster dogs and cats. I give them a home for their final days. I also foster animals until a home can be found.
