Getting to know Dr. Katherine Fackina
Dr. Fackina earned a Ph.D. and Ed.S. in Marriage and Family Psychology from Seton Hall University. She also holds a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Saint Elizabeth University and a Bachelor’s from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. She is currently a part-time lecturer in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University, focusing on sport and performance psychology and organizational development, and has served as a graduate-level adjunct professor in the Department of Professional Psychology at Seton Hall University.
Licensed in New Jersey and New York, Dr. Fackina has clinical experience in hospital, community, legal, and private settings. Beyond clinical practice, she provides performance-based services such as executive coaching and leadership development, mainly in technology and finance, as well as performance development in elite and professional sports and the performing arts. She approaches her work from a strength-based, person-centered perspective, believing effective outcomes involve a collaborative process respectful of cultural, ethnic, religious, gender, and sexual orientation differences. Her practice primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices to resolve emotional and behavioral problems and empower people to lead happier, fulfilling lives. In her specialized work with couples, she utilizes Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), grounded in the belief that emotions indicate what is important and guide behavior toward needs or wants. This process is influenced by thoughts within experiences and often develops into habitual ways of behaving and relating to others.
What should a new client know about working with you?
The CWC consists of psychologically trained professionals assisting individuals and organizations to reach their optimal potential, finding life satisfaction, and creating resilience. We provide strength-based interventions primarily from behavioral perspectives, meaning it is very goal-oriented and action-based. The CWC is committed to healthy coping, self-awareness, self-reflection, education, and peaceful living. We offer a wide range of services from treating mental health concerns to executive coaching to develop organizational and leadership strategies.
There are many practices where you can go and be heard. We are committed to taking that one step further as we focus on change- changing behaviors to promote healthier and more peaceful living. We are integrative and provide referrals or direct care including: dietetics, physical health training, meditation classes, psychiatry consults and referrals, and other interdisciplinary treatments. We are holistic and work to uncover everyone's optimal potential.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
To determine the best personalized approach, we start with an information gathering and comprehensive needs assessment. There is no one-size-fits-all in behaviorism. Once we establish the goals, we work together to develop the plan that best suits your needs in order to optimize your performance and improve job/life satisfaction and resilience.
Every clinician of the CWC has been trained in evidence-based treatments (e.g., cognitive and behavioral therapies such as ACT, DBT, REBT, and others) as well as multicultural psychology. We embrace active discussions of diversity issues and develop a treatment plan specific to each individual client. This is important when considering the best treatment for you, or your loved one.
