Catherine DeMonte has been a licensed Marriage, Family, Child Therapist (LMFT) for over 25 years. She is the author of the 2019 book, Beep! Beep! Get Out of My Way! Seven Tools for Living Your Unstoppable Life. She is highly regarded in the field and creates a safe, supportive space for her clients where they feel deeply respected and truly heard. Her work is proactive and direct, and also very nurturing. She sees individuals (children, teens and adults) or couples with a variety of issues. Her work utilizes mindfulness and Depth Psychology and is about empowering clients to find the answer within themselves. Her works’ goal is to help people feel less triggered, more empowered and inspired and living joy-filled lives! Her approach is about giving tools to deal with the blocks on one’s path so that one sees how events don’t happen TO us. Events happen FOR us. Everything that happens in our life is an opportunity for our growth, healing and expansion. This empowering approach moves one from feeling victimized and in overwhelm to feeling hopeful and emboldened.
She is also the facilitator of 8-session “Abundance Circles” she created which are safe, supportive, small-group gatherings that have helped countless women and men remove blocks that held them back. She provides specific tools at each of the Abundance Circle gatherings which build on each other to create the life that participants deeply desired and deserve. Each circle is limited to five members and tend to grow quite close, and meet every other week for eight sessions. She is currently working on a book based on these tools. She has led a number of workshops and lectures in the area of relationship and parenting issues, empowerment, Mindfulness, creating authentic, abundant lives, and Inner Child work and has written many articles on the same topics.

Hi Dr Dave- I listened and enjoyed your interview with Catherine Demonte. I am skeptical of abundance teachings and how much the ego loves the idea of this aggrandizement. At the same time, think there is truth to our limited thinking blocking a kind of flow and freedom in life. I looked up the Abundance Circles – curious if someone near me was doing something like it. I got to Catherine’s website where I saw she’s charging $880 for 8 group meetings. Quite bluntly – this is only for rich people. Most of society is living paycheck to paycheck and ironically to join a group like this one already has to have a certain level of real abundance. Makes me wonder who is reaping the abundance in this scenario? Certainly not the single mom living impoverished. This circle will never be available to her – or even someone “middle” class like me…
Something seems really off about that.
