About Catherine Haralson

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in California, and have lived here more than anyplace else in my life. I have worked in mental health field over 20 years, (then I stopped counting!)

I work with adults over 18 years of age up to what ever age you have achieved. I try not to pay attention to that “older person nonsense!” How would you be if you didn’t know the day you were born?

I work with clients with trauma, such as with veterans, or those with past child abuse, or those who have been in traumatic car accidents, and so on; grief and loss, depression, OCD, anxiety, couples’ issues-(one of you, or the both of ya) PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), bipolar disorder, and SMI (seriously mentally ill). Among other things, just write it down and send it to me, and we’ll see what we can do.

I specialize in CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Supportive Therapy,
CPT-Cognitive Processing Therapy; Couples’ work; Reflective Listening; Prolonged Exposure Therapy; DBT; Mindfulness; Motivational Interviewing, and Relaxation skills.

My best strength is my compassion for helping you achieve your goals, and get where you want to in your life. I find therapy to be an interactive and collaborative effort–we are in this together.
