About Catherine – Blossoming Skills Reading Therapy
Every child deserves the joy—and confidence—that comes from reading success.
Hi, I’m Catherine Mitchell—a mom, educator, and reading therapist on a mission to change lives through literacy.
I’m a proud mother of two daughters who both faced significant learning challenges, including dyslexia. I know firsthand the heartbreak of watching your child struggle—losing sleep, feeling helpless, and watching their confidence slowly disappear. Despite my training as a special education teacher, I quickly realized the traditional school system fails to meet the needs of most struggling readers. In fact, only about 30% of children learn to read proficiently through mainstream instruction alone. I couldn’t be part of a system that left so many behind.
That’s why I left the classroom and dedicated myself to finding real solutions. I’ve trained extensively in research-backed programs and even received 1:1 coaching from the founders of several breakthrough reading methods. I specialize in helping children with dyslexia, ADHD, language delays, and other learning differences—regardless of diagnosis or IQ—learn to read with confidence.
I’ll never forget the day my daughter read her first book in third grade. It brought the same joy and pride I felt when she graduated college—something professionals once told me would never happen.
If you’ve been told your child can’t learn to read, I’m here to tell you otherwise. I help make the impossible possible. Let’s work together to give your child the skills—and the future—they deserve.
What makes my approach different?
Full Parent Coaching & Training: You’re not just supported—you’re equipped. I personally coach and train you so you feel confident helping your child at home, every step of the way.
All Materials Shipped to Your Door: No scrambling for supplies. Every tool, workbook, and resource is delivered straight to you, so you’re always ready for each session.

My mission:
To help your child build the skills and confidence needed to become an independent, joyful reader—and to give you (the parent) the peace of mind you deserve.
