About

Thank you so much for checking out my bio. I am glad you are here.  My name is Catherine Ionelli and I live and am licensed in the beautiful state of Florida.  I am extremely passionate about helping people and have dedicated my career doing so.  My primary goal as a clinician is for you to feel safe and understood, therefore I believe in creating an environment of acceptance, safety, and empowerment.  I want to partner with you on your personal journey and help you achieve your goals so you can live the life you deserve.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Clinical Psychology from Fielding Graduate University; Master's in Psychological Studies from Seton Hall University; Bachelor's in Communication from Fairfield University.
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation in working with autistic/neurodivergent perspective clients stems from years of experience helping this population and obtaining a deep understanding that each individual has great strengths, insight and resilience.  I am passionate about helping individuals uncover such strengths in order for them to work toward living a fulfilling and satisfying life.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I believe that people thrive when they feel safe & understood, therefore I prioritize creating an environment where people feel acknowledged, seen, heard, valued & validated.  Each patient is unique with their own story to share, and it is my job to understand the layers of that story in order to empower them to heal, grow and thrive.
