Hello! I'm Catherine (she/her), and I'm a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Massachusetts. I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College, and my Master's Degree in Social Work from New York University. I have over 15 years of direct clinical experience and have worked in various settings, including a secure residential program for adolescent girls, group homes for adults with major mental illness, and outreach for clients living independently in the community. I absolutely love providing services remotely, through BetterHelp. My background is in Psychiatric Rehabilitation, which means I'll help you build skills and access resources to help you work through your current circumstances. It's important to note that you'll take the lead in our work - I'm here for support and guidance, but you're in the driver's seat. You decide what we work on, and how we do it. I can give you concrete tools to help you start working towards specific goals today. At the same time, if you'd rather just talk, we can do that too. Clients have said that they appreciate my willingness to help, my abilities in providing help, and doing so with a healthy sense of humor. In summary, I will strive to help you by providing empathy, reminding you of your strengths, and helping you acquire skills and access resources to handle life's curve balls. Let's get started!

I am a licensed independent clinical social worker with experience working with people struggling with their mental health. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, phobias, and a history of physical and emotional trauma. I also have provided support to those struggling with substance abuse. I started providing support to individuals through BetterHelp at the beginning of the pandemic and have continued to do so over the past few years. I have additional experience working in a skilled nursing facility, long-term care, and residential settings. Through this, I have provided support to individuals with chronic medical diagnoses, brain injury, and dementia. Along with supporting these individuals, I have also provided support to family, friends, and caregivers for these individuals. As a social worker, I believe in a person-centered approach and collaborating with my clients to meet their goals. I am very open-minded and want my clients to feel comfortable sharing their struggles, without fear of judgment. It takes a lot of courage to seek support. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy with reaching our goals and need help. I am here to support you to achieve your goals and find a more meaningful life. I look forward to working with you.

Sometimes we all need someone to talk to. I've been a psychotherapist for 20 plus years and consider it a privilege to be able to work with clients around important personal issues and questions. I work with individuals and couples and offer what I'd consider a warm, active engagement style blending knowledge, curiosity and humility. My theoretical approach encompasses cognitive, psychodynamic, reality-based and relational components, and I treat a broad array of clinical issues. Change is a process, often with different phases, and I see my role as a coach within that transformation process - supporting, encouraging, pointing things out and helping people see things in a new way.
