Catherine Cardinal,Ph.D., C.A.M.F.
In my practice of over 22 years, I have dedicated my work to helping clients overcome their personal blocks and achieve success and happiness in their life and relationships.
My client base is composed of people from all professions and backgrounds, from lawyers to homemakers to celebrities, to teachers, to CEO's. I draw on the premise that we all have a need to manage our stress and learn better coping skills. I have in place tools and formulas that are easily learned, easily implemented and that can create solid and measurable positive change.
My goal is to assist each individual (or couple) in reaching their personal greatness by removing the belief systems keeping them stuck in a no-win place; to guide them to a more fulfilling and remarkable experience of life.
By working with SAMI., I can help couples reach their highest potential of healthy communication, emotional trust and feel a grounded sense of self within the relationship.
I am a published author, "A Cure For the Common Life:The Cardinal Rules of Self-Esteem", hypnotherapist, movement expression therapist and anger management facilitator. I have appeared in many national and local television shows and have been featured in Glamour, Redbook, Maxim, Modern Bride, The Los Angeles Times and many other publications and radio shows. I have been interviewed by Bill O'Reilly, Shirley MacLaine, Rhonda Britten(Starting Over), Michaela Pereira(KTLA morning show) and Laura Diaz and Paul Magers(Studio2).

It can be exciting to see positive change and people lead more fulfilling lives.

He helps people perform optimally at work and in sports using the principles of peak performance and sports psychology.

Cinzia Canale Fossa, MA, C.A.M.F.
As an adolescent facilitator of the Stress & Anger Management Institute, I bring my
experience in working with children and teens, as well as their parents. In our world today, teens face difficulties not seen before and various obstacles that hinder their development.
By working with them through SAMI., I will help teens manage stressful situations and identify triggers that cause their unhealthy behaviors that interfere with their ability to solve problems. Also, they will be able to recognize the importance of balancing their emotional development, academic growth, social skills with the stresses of everyday life. This will improve interaction with their parents, siblings, friends and the environment in order to succeed in the fast-paced world we live in.
