PSYCHOTHERAPY
Cathy DeBuono, M.A., M.F.T.

There is no one approach to psychotherapy that is right for everyone.  As your therapist, I will take a highly individualized approach to the work that we do by starting with a comprehensive approach to understanding your unique circumstances and goals.   

 My work is holistic, integrated and informed by my education and experience. It will call upon the various modalities of my training and utilizes carefully chosen relevant applications of each. 

My approach is always guided by the  principles of psychodynamic therapy, is informed by a wide range of psychoanalytic theories and is grounded in the wisdom of somatic experiencing.

The focus of my work is with individual adults and couples.  I have plentiful experience working with issues such as panic attacks, anxiety, depression, eating disorders and relationship issues. I specialize in treating Trauma. I have spent years working with survivors or all kinds such as sexual assault, car accidents, natural disaster, interpersonal betrayals and sustained childhood trauma.  It would be my pleasure to consult with you about what you are seeking to accomplish with your therapy and to see if we may be a good fit for one another.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out. I welcome texting, calls or email - whichever you prefer.  Rest assured your confidentiality is my priority. 

 My training and experience includes such modalities as Somatic Experiencing (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), The Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy and The Gottman Method as well as  forensic assessments as outlined in the forensic services section.

"Couples therapy was the LAST thing my wife and I wanted to do, but because of it, we understand our problems and have tools to face them ."
