My name is Catherine English Lambert (Cathy) and I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for the state of Massachusetts (and New Hampshire LCMHC). I have a thoroughly eclectic approach to therapy as we all have different interpretations of how we arrived on the scenic path or how to get back to authenticity. Primarily, I use CBT and DBT to induce change for my areas of expertise in Addiction and Trauma.
My approach
I align life with driving on a highway. We need to read the signs, know when to slow down, when to merge or exit; how to handle fender benders and how to repair getting totaled. We have to know where we've been and where we're headed. We have to maintain a diligence of our surrounding while keeping the course. Life doesn't come with a map or directions; but we will find our way.In
My focus
In my many (many) years of counseling, I've dealt with children, teens, young adults and older adults in schools, clinics, crisis scenes, homes and hospitals. I've worked with many different nationalities and cultures and appreciate the opportunities; as a former New Yorker, it's just second nature.
My communication style
I hope it's safe to say that my counseling environment is a safe, comfortable and laid back place. There shouldn't be anything you're afraid to tell me and you should expect everything you tell me to be received without judgement.
My journey to mental healthcare
I received my BA at Queens College (CUNY) in Flushing, NY - where I was raised. I left NYC for NH and received my MEd from UNH, my MS from GCU and my CAGS from Rivier. I began my doctorate at CalSouth, but put that on hold until I complete my pilot's license.
My goals for you
We'll set a short term goal and a long term goal, with steps to attain both. We'll evaluate the short term in about 3 months and see if we need to tweak the path to the long term based on both mine and your assessment.
My first session with you
Our first session is an intake where I'll be asking questions about your background, health, family, education, criminality, etc. It's necessary but informative; it can also be a pain in the butt. What's best about it is that you'll get a chance to "feel me out" as well as ask me any questions you'd like.
