Catherine Macken

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a focus on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I specialize in helping adults navigate emotional challenges and cultivate healthier coping strategies. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based practices, empowering clients to achieve personal growth and resilience. With a commitment to fostering a supportive therapeutic environment, I guide individuals in developing skills for improved emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness.

My approach to therapy, grounded in the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) model, focuses on helping adults cultivate emotional well-being through the integration of acceptance and change. I create a safe and supportive environment where clients learn essential skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, empowering them to navigate their emotions and relationships more effectively. By fostering a collaborative therapeutic alliance, I guide individuals in setting personalized goals and developing strategies that promote resilience and personal growth.

Clients can expect to gain practical skills in emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness that empower them to manage their emotions and improve their relationships. Each session will provide a supportive space for self-exploration, helping individuals to identify patterns in their thoughts and behaviors while fostering greater self-awareness. Ultimately, clients will leave with actionable strategies to navigate life's challenges more effectively and cultivate a more fulfilling and balanced life.
