Dr. Cathy Evangelatos, PsyD

I’m Dr. Cathy Evangelatos, a licensed clinical psychologist providing depth-oriented psychotherapy in Newport Beach and online throughout California.

I work with adults, teens, and couples facing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, life transitions, or a sense of feeling stuck.

I primarily use a depth-oriented approach that looks beneath symptoms to the patterns shaping how you feel and relate, and I also draw from methods like CBT when they would be helpful.

You can choose a secular or faith-integrated approach. Evening and weekend appointments are available in person and virtually.

I am in-network with most major insurance providers.

I have over a decade of experience helping people navigate life’s deepest challenges.

My theology degree also allows me to support the integration of faith into therapy for those who choose it.

Your Approach, Your Choice

You can choose a fully secular approach or a faith-integrated approach. I’ll follow your lead.

Depth based therapy represented by connecting puzzle pieces

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

I specialize in psychodynamic psychotherapy, a depth-oriented form of therapy that goes beyond symptom relief alone. Together, we explore how relationship patterns from the family you grew up in can show up in your life now — including past trauma and dynamics that may be repeating unconsciously. I also have specialized training in dream analysis, which we can include when it feels meaningful to you.

Heal your past and look forward to your future

Lasting Change

This kind of therapy often leads to greater self-awareness, improved self-esteem, and more satisfying relationships. The benefits can keep unfolding even after therapy ends.
