Cat Saunders, Ph.D., has been actively involved in the fields of psychology, self-help, and interdisciplinary healing since the early 1970s. 

Her doctoral research focused on the relationship between functional neurology and eating disorders. She has been interviewed on radio and television regarding her private practice, her techniques for working with anger, and her series of articles about death.

Cat is the author of Dr. Cat's Helping Handbook: A Compassionate Guide for Being Human and more than 200 articles and interviews.

Beginning in 1985, Cat maintained a counseling practice in Seattle, Washington. As of January 2026, Cat no longer does “regular” counseling. However, she is available to co-create mutually satisfying mentoring relationships to foster personal and professional growth.

Cat is especially interested in working with people who are 65+ and navigating their “Third Act” in life.
