Catherine (Cate) Beaton
My Journey began as a paramedic in Hartford, Connecticut. At the age of 20, I saw firsthand the physical and psychological suffering humans experience. It was in those vulnerable moments with others that I realized that how we connect is as important as what we do. It put me on the path of seeking ways to understand this experience and the world around us. Towards this end, I completed a Master's Degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology from Naropa University, countless continuing education courses on trauma and behavior and have recently completed my Educational Specialist Degree in School Psychology. As a Clinical and Executive Director, supporting my coworkers and supervisees became a core component to my true north (or calling). It provided me the opportunity to support those who work in the helping professions and give of themselves to support others. In addition to the skills I developed and refined, it also strengthened my belief that relationships and people are at the core of our collective health. I have experienced the profound effect that a strong therapeutic relationship can have and my 10 years of clinical supervision experience has taught me the importance of creating a safe space for people to explore who they are. Ultimately I seek to give the gift of being seen, heard, and understood to those around me.

I currently primarily work with children and adolescents, but I have experience working with adults who have experienced trauma and impairment due to mental health disorders. I find I gravitate towards client centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Part of following a client centered therapy approach is focusing on the therapeutic fit. This means I want to make sure that I am the best therapist for your needs. I view my role as a therapist as an opportunity for you to share your experience in an environment free of judgment. I will follow your lead to determine what goals you wish to work on. There may be times where you want a listening ear and other times you may want to problem solve. My intention is to meet you where you are at. If you are looking to problem solve I will guide you through the process by helping you explore your behavior and thoughts, and establish goals for change. I generally check messages here a few times per day Monday-Friday and respond as quickly as I can. I do appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other clients or professional/personal responsibilities. My practice hours are 5pm-7:30pm Monday - Friday. Sometimes I am able to respond to messages outside those hours. You can also book a live session with me ahead of time. Please remember that BetterHelp (or specialty site.) is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911, 988, or local emergency services.
