Cathy is also a Level II EMDR therapist. (*Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a form of psychotherapy that was developed to resolve symptoms resulting from disturbing and unresolved life experiences. It uses a structured approach for treatment of trauma related disorders such as post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Clients are able to free themselves from the hold that these negative experiences have on their lives after completing treatment.) She received her MSW from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Work with a concentration in children and families. She has worked extensively with families of children with disabilities within the Westchester County area through Early Intervention and The Committee for Preschool Education. Currently, Cathy provides family therapy using the NEST modality in conjunction and collaboration with the other Lighthouse therapists.
