Getting to know Cathy Lipper

It's never too early or too late to seek help. My decades of working with people have shown me that reaching out to someone like me, whether in a crisis or dealing with day-to-day stressors, will be helpful. Many people think that their struggles aren't the worst in the world, and that is probably true, but that doesn't mean there aren't tremendous benefits in speaking with someone who doesn't know your friends, family, or, before today, you. People come to see me for a wide range of issues, and it is my role to help people figure out what they want and then to work together towards those goals. Teamwork makes the dream work!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I use a variety of techniques to help my clients achieve their goals, including CBT, psychodynamic psychotherapy, trauma-focused therapy, and Kohut's self-psychology techniques. I also use systematic desensitization when treating OCD and other behavioral maladies.
