About Kenneth Catalanotte

Kenneth Catalanotte is a retired clinical social worker with 35 years of counseling experience who has dedicated much of his career to supporting people through severe trauma and everyday life challenges. He spent the last ten years of his practice working for the Veteran's Administration, where he provided therapy to veterans coping with PTSD related to intense traumatic experiences. His work has also included helping women recover from histories of trauma and regain a sense of control and direction in their lives.

In addition to treating individuals with significant trauma, he has worked with people facing less acute concerns who sought help navigating daily stressors and difficult transitions. He approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership, preferring to work alongside clients rather than positioning them as passive patients. He holds an LCSW credential - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - which reflects specialized training in clinical social work and counseling.
