Catherine Wambui Kioi

Catherine Wambui Kioi is a mental health therapist that lives in Baltimore, Maryland. She was born in Michigan, spent her childhood in Kenya, and has lived in the USA for most of her adulthood. Cathy received her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Towson University in 2010. After that, she went on to pursue her Master's degree at Loyola University, where she graduated in 2012 with a Master's in Counseling Psychology. Since then, Cathy has worked with children, teenagers and adults who struggle with different mental health challenges.

Cathy loved to read as a child and teen, so when she realized she could use books to help children heal, she dived in full force. After years of using books in her sessions with kids, Cathy decided that she wanted to start writing her own books highlighting the biggest issues she saw in her work. Her first book is based on anxiety, because it is the biggest problem she deals with in her practice. Cathy plans to write a book series with a different condition highlighted in each book. She also plans to create coloring books that will be additions to her children's books. Cathy hopes that her books will bring calm, comfort and peace to the children who read them.
