Cathy Hitchcock, MSW, LCSW
Certified Enneagram Trainer in the Narrative Tradition of Helen Palmer and David Daniels, MD
Portland, Oregon    503-235-4705    cathyh@aracnet.com   

Individual Psychotherapy with Cathy Hitchcock using the Enneagram: The Enneagram is readily accessible and applicable to everyday life.  Unlike much of my academic training, which was based on the study of dysfunction, the Enneagram --  a system of nine different life views, none better than any other, considers both positive and limiting qualities.  Understanding our own type, or habitual view of life, can be a springboard for growth and spiritual expansion.  Using the Enneagram in psychotherapy provides the bridge between psychotherapy and spiritual integration.



Cathy Hitchcock is a certified Enneagram teacher
, having completed the widely respected Enneagram Professional Training Program with Helen Palmer and David Daniels, M.D.  Helen’s books, The Enneagram and The Enneagram in Love and Work have been best sellers around the world.  David Daniels is a psychiatrist at Stanford University who has spearheaded the application of the Enneagram in the field of psychotherapy and co-created a certified Enneagram teacher training program that has been recognized by state licensing boards for social workers and psychologists.

Cathy occasionally serves as the resident therapist at this training, providing counseling support for others going through the certification process.

In addition, Cathy has certified with Jerome Wagner at Loyola University in Chicago through Dr. Wagner’s Enneagram Spectrum Training and Certification Program.

Cathy brings knowledge from both programs to her work.  Cathy also brings to her work an extensive background in gestalt therapy, having trained for years with Bob Martin, DSW, a founding member of the Gestalt Institute of Los Angeles.  Her own experience as a breast cancer survivor adds to her compassionate approach to self exploration through psychotherapy using the enneagram.

Cathy graduated from the University of Washington and received her Masters in Social Work from Portland State University.  She has been in private practice for 25 years.

Would you like individual guidance identifying your Enneagram Type?




Identifying the lens through which you see the world can be difficult to do alone.  Dale Rhodes and Cathy Hitchcock offer you one-to-one typing interviews to guide you through the process of discovering your type.  The first meeting is a formal interview that assesses your type, and the second interview is scheduled a week or two later to reflect together on what thoughts, feelings, and reactions have unfolded in the interim.  The total cost for both sessions is only $125.


Cathy Hitchcock's book, Breast Cancer -- What you Should Know (But May Not Be Told) About Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment (Prima, 1994) was co-authored with Steve Austin ND
