Debuono, Cathy
I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, creative partners or relationships of any nature that require communication mediation and assistance achieving a true mutual understanding. I have advanced education, training and experience in clinical psychology, various therapeutic modalities and working with a culturally diverse clientele. I provide specialized treatment for the lasting effects of trauma of all kinds.

While talking about your trauma is always acceptable, it is not necessary to do so for the modalities I am trained in to be effective. I am trained in both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and TRM, (Trauma Resiliency Model). I provide assistance for busy and/or under resourced law enforcement agencies by analyzing cold case files and identifying possible in-roads toward further investigatory steps.

I am also Darkstone trained in Hare's Psychopathy Checklist Revised, (PCL-R), the only global judicially accepted psychological assessment protocol used in the diagnosis of Psychopathy.
Services
There is no one approach to psychotherapy that is right for everyone.
I take a highly individualized approach to the work I do with my clients by starting with a comprehensive approach to understanding their unique circumstances and goals.
I have advanced education in clinical psychology, and extended studies.
I've been trained in various therapeutic modalities and psychological fields of study.
I have utilized the concepts of a wide range of psychoanalytic theories, such as Jungian, Existential and Self Psychology.
Many people suffering from the lasting effects of trauma are reluctant to seek traditional "talk therapies" as the very idea of having to retell the story of their trauma can be unbearable.
While talking about your trauma is always acceptable, the good news is that its not necessary for the modalities that I practice to be successful.
Best of all, I will teach you the tools you need to manage your symptoms, (TRM), and to continue to heal yourself while not in session, because the goal is not to need therapy forever, but to be able to leave it behind you.
I have been a licensed clinician for sixteen years.
During that time I have accumulated a wealth of experience working with clients of a wide variety issues in just as many settings and roles.
My exposure to mental health as it pertains to the judicial system came early to me in my career as an intern working with incarcerated juvenile offenders at a correctional facility, (no longer in operation today), where I was exposed first hand to the importance of being able to differentiate those who required specialized treatment from those who required action plans with a focus on risk management.
She was able to identify things that were overlooked in the original investigation with the "EYE OF A DETECTIVE".
As a result of this assistance from Cathy, we were able to develop a suspect that was NOT in the original investigation!
Cathy DeBuono got a confession out of a murderer that no cop or FBI agent before her could get, but she did.
After working with an insightful, intelligent, and meticulous investigator; I must say, she missed her calling.
After 27 years of investigative experience, I would not blink or hesitate to work a case with Cathy.
