Getting to know Catherine Desponett

I'm Catherine Desponett, holding double licenses as a Marriage and Family Therapist and Addictions Counselor. My expertise lies in dealing with individuals, couples, and families grappling with emotional, relational, and substance use issues. My therapy strategies take into account the systematic aspects of human struggles, focusing on trauma patterns, attachment, and behavioral health. As a U.S. Department of Transportation-approved Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I conduct professional evaluations and render advice to safety-sensitive staff aiming to resume duties after breaching federal drug and alcohol testing rules. I integrate relational therapy and substance abuse expertise to treat individuals and families dealing with addiction, trauma, and interpersonal dynamics. My clinical work relies on empirical methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), family systems theory, trauma-informed care, and motivational interviewing. I provide compassionate, direct, and teamwork-centered treatment aimed at fostering resilience, responsibility, and worthwhile transformation in both outpatient care and higher care levels. Deeply committed to maintaining ethical and culturally sensitive care, I've worked with varied communities to assist individuals dealing with recovery, relationship strife, grief, identity growth, and concurrent mental health disorders. I'm perfectly tuned to intersectional challenges such as identity, systemic imbalances, family roles, trauma history, and community-based obstacles. I aspire to meet people where they are and gently push them towards necessary changes with an empathetic yet precise approach.
