Welcome to The Catholic Couch—the official podcast of the Catholic Counseling Institute.

Hosted by Catholic therapist, wife, and mom Amber Pilkington, this podcast brings together the wisdom of the Catholic Church and the clarity of modern psychology to offer real tools for real life—on the ground, in real time.

Whether you're navigating intrusive thoughts and scrupulosity, Catholic parenting, marriage, boundaries, burnout, or just trying to keep your peace at 7:14 p.m. when the pasta’s boiling over and the kids are yelling upstairs—this podcast is here to help.

In this short trailer, you’ll hear what to expect from future episodes, who this podcast is for, and why this might become your new favorite place to exhale, regroup, and be reminded that you’re not alone.

✨ What you'll walk away with after each episode:
– Faithful, compassionate support
– Psychology-informed tools grounded in Church teaching
– Scripts, reframes, and steps you can actually use in the middle of real life
– Encouragement without pressure

If you’ve ever wished there was a Catholic podcast that spoke to the mess and the meaning of daily life, The Catholic Couch is for you.

Because here, we don’t preach at you.
We sit with you.
