I found her to be extremely helpful. She gave me practical tips for working through my family of origin concerns (ie suggested books and support networks), but was also just a good listener when I needed that. She's awesome.

I’ve known Cate for a long time and have referred many people to her, including some of my own clients for additional services (e.g. EMDR, couples counseling, family therapy as an adjunct to individual counseling). I consistently get really good feedback from these clients and as a result, she is someone I can count on to provide really good quality care and services. Cate is an extremely competent, compassionate, and skilled clinician. She connects well with others and is very empathetic.. If I had family or friends that needed counseling, she is one of the top therapists I would recommend.

Dr. Lally was referred to me by my friend after she and her husband were helped in their marriage by
Cate. I was hesitant to go and my husband for sure
didn’t want to , but we did. We are so glad! Cate is compassionate, and an excellent listener. She also is a direct and clear communicator. It took my
husband and I a few sessions to get used to someone communicating like that since our communication had been so indirect and hurtful. We have learned so much from Cate. I don’t think we would be together now ( and happy) if it were not for Cate. If you want a therapist who is caring, has a wealth of knowledge and experience ,and the ability to translate all of that into everyday, practical help for couples- then I would highly recommend Cate Lally.

Cate Sally saved my life. I was going through a terrible divorce and seriously considering suicide. She listened carefully, gave wise counsel and never gave up on me. I owe her a lot.

My husband and I saw Cate for couples counseling for over a year. She helped us both individually somewhat but there was no progress in our relationship. After a year, she told us that because we were stalled in our progress we should take a break. She checked in a couple of times, and then she essentially dropped us. My husband deals with major anxiety and depression so her dropping us seems grossly irresponsible. Overall, we believe that she just doesn’t have more than one approach. If the very basic technique she tries doesn’t work, she quits.

Same old same old - doesn’t use different methods. She makes doesn’t help couples but rather causes friction. Worthless. Doesn’t understand when one is manipulatibg

She has helped me so much with my depression stemming from family issues and traumas using so many different styles of therapy including EMDR. Very knowledgable and compassionate. I would recommend her to many who experienced traumas. I have met many therapist who just wanted me to talk but gave no result, but finally, she is definitely helping me recover. Highly recommended.

Went to Dr. Lally to resolve issues in a relationship. Relationship partners XX and XY. XY had borderline issues which Dr. Lally did not perceive and encouraged/destroyed relationship rather than helping. XX had a friend abducted, raped, and murdered. XY told Lally that XX was unfeeling since she felt serial s*x offenders should not be let out of jail. XX was not allowed to speak the entire session. XX had to sit and endure the horrifying ordeal and be put in a position to be chastised. XY had the entire floor and kept on about the uncaring XX because of her feeling of not allowing s*x offenders out of jail. XX had considerable angst after the session due to the friend's murder by a serial offender and Lally not allowing these feelings to come to light. XX was not allowed to tell her circumstances and was crucified for being judgmental. Lally does not see through those with lies stemming from a mental illness. XX requested other forms of therapy as it got to be that XY would use these sessions to blind side XY. Instead of being positive therapy and building relationships. For two years, Lally's sessions were what bothered "you" this week and let's talk about it. Good therapist's use more than one type of therapy. XY also took a picture of room used boxes as we were moving. Said that XYX was "hoarding" and Lally believed XY without questioning XX. Goodness, as many times as I have moved it is impossible to be a hoarder.
