Psychotherapy is an opportunity to actively engage and work on obstacles that may be inhibiting personal growth and happiness. It is a therapist's job to be actively engaged in this process and to help in a way that is sensitive, constructive, and sensible. I feel that it's important to work on the identification of key issues, but to also find practical ways of moving forward. My approach draws upon various therapeutic techniques and modalities. I work diligently with each individual to ensure that we work with a technique that will be the most productive for the client.

Change is an inevitable facet of life. Although some changes may be welcome, others may evoke feelings of fear, sadness, or even despair. Be it the loss or rupture of important relationships, upsets in one's career or academics, or taking on new roles and/or responsibilities; changes like these can be challenging. However, they may also present opportunities for deep self-reflection and personal growth.

With so many responsibilities and commitments, it can be challenging to make time for ourselves to reflect and think about life choices. At times, we may overlook our mental health and how various issues are affecting us. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space in which you can take time to learn about yourself.

I am a licensed therapist who specializes in working with adult individuals and couples. I believe that therapy is most effective as a collaboration between therapist and client and that the relationship provides the foundation for personal growth and healing. Using our past as a guide to understand how our stories have shaped us leads to change and new opportunity. By using a combination of psychodynamic and evidence-based strategies, I take an integrative approach to therapy ensuring each client’s individual needs and goals are carefully attended to.

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! A phrase we often hear but seldom get to experience fully. And why? Because oftentimes people are going through life SURVIVING instead of truly LIVING. We make choices out of fear instead of love. When we are in SURVIVAL mode, we think only to stabilize ourselves in the moment. We may feel anxious, depressed, angry, or burnout. We may struggle with isolation, substance misuse, relationships, or risky behavior. In LIVING mode we are able to regulate our emotions appropriately, communicate effectively with others, maintain boundaries, practice self care, feel safe in our own body and THRIVE.

Life constantly presents us with challenges, choices, and surprises. Meeting life's challenges alone can lead to loneliness, isolation and depression. No one should have to meet their emotional pain alone. Using compassion and acceptance, I work with my clients to foster deeper connections to their intuitive selves, and more authentic relationships. My goal is for you to feel empowered to take values based actions and to develop closeness with yourself and others.

I am a psychotherapist, author, and public speaker specializing in psychospiritual development, with particular expertise in psychedelic psychotherapy. My book, Psychedelic Healing: The Promise of Entheogens for Psychotherapy and Spiritual Development, describes the influence of psychedelics on the development of my personality theory and clinical practice. (A six-minute interview “Fusion of Spirit and Science” may be found at: vimeo.com/7517009.) Trained in humanistic, transpersonal, and eastern traditions, I maintain a (non-psychedelic) psychotherapy practice in Brooklyn, New York.

Making the decision to start therapy can be daunting, but I believe that the therapy process can help you gain a better understanding of your behaviors, relationships and sense of self. I also believe that therapy can help to ease the emotional pain and discomfort that life changes and transitions can stir up. I create a safe and caring environment where we will work together to identify and work through the obstacles you face so you can achieve your goals.

I'll walk beside you along this journey if you're ready to take the first step. I work primarily with professional young women who can be described as responsible and stoic. Women who take care of others but have a hard time seeking care for themselves. Women who can be their own worst critic, who feel unseen and often sacrifice their comfort to keep things running smoothly. When things have been this way forever it can be hard to imagine a life with enough space to make yourself a priority. If this sounds like you, we can team up to bring ease and well-being into your life. Start a new path: reach out.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State. I have worked in various settings and capacities helping individuals with depression, anxiety, stress, medical illness, addictions, career concerns, and relationship challenges. In my work I find it useful to draw on a variety of clinical perspectives as each client brings to the process a unique set of needs, strengths, and goals. I love helping clients get unstuck from the patterns they live and relive over and over, whether it be in their jobs, families, relationships, or even inside their own heads.

Do you want to change how you feel, your habits, or how you interact with others? You deserve a therapist who will listen with empathy and offer insight without judgment, someone who will help you figure out what is holding you back and how to overcome it. This may require examining your perceptions, your beliefs, your interactions, and of course your history. Evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may also be helpful.

Welcome! I’m Catherine, a licensed and board-certified psychotherapist. My practice is rooted in EMDR, attachment-theory and building a secure, safe, and nurturing therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. I'm passionate about helping my clients break free from patterns and behaviors that are holding them back. As a relationally-oriented therapist, I am especially interested in how your early experiences shape your present ways of being, feeling, and relating to others. Our childhood experiences have a profound impact on who we become as adults.

She collaborates with her clients to come up with the best strategies to meet their unique needs. As such, she makes use of different modalities while staying rooted in a person-centered and mindfulness-based approach. She has reflected on the meaning of multiculturalism, intersectional identities, and how they interface with mental health as a queer-identified therapist who had to leave her home country with the hopes of constructing a new future.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
