Get to Know Me! Cat Moon, LCSW

Hey y’all! It’s Cat. I’m the face behind these blog and Instagram posts. I’m so grateful you’ve stumbled on my page, and I just wanted to introduce myself to you.

A little about me:

• Yes, that’s my real name. Cat Moon. My parents started calling me Cat when I was five. I married into the last name so I could get rid of my middle name, which is still a secret!

• I live in East Atlanta with my sweet husband, Jake, our two young sons, and our golden retriever, Walker.

• We have an adorable 1920s bungalow and the sweetest neighbors.

• When I was five, I was given a sweet, solid black cat. I promptly named him Jonathan. Jonathan was named for my carpool buddy, the biblical character, and, of course, Jonathan Taylor Thomas (JTT) from Home Improvement.

• My guilty pleasure is listening to true crime podcasts for hours every week while I’m cleaning or doing something mundane like taking notes (#MFM is my favorite).

• I was an English major in college at UGA, and I’m still an avid reader.

• My favorite form of exercise is having Walker drag me around my neighborhood looking for discarded chicken wing bones.

• I’ve been teaching DBT for over 10 years, and it has transformed my life.

• One of my favorite things to do is to find a new restaurant through Eater Atlanta and mindfully eat a meal with my husband.

• I’m a recovering people-pleaser and perfectionist.
