About

Cathy Beaton, MS, NCPsyA, LPC, is a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to helping couples and individuals enhance the quality of their sexual and intimate relationships.  Better sex and more satisfying emotional connection begin at the first therapy session as Cathy learns about you and your concerns. With a warm, collaborative approach, she answers your questions and begins to clarify the frustrations you are experiencing in your love life.

Committed couples and solo adults trust Cathy Beaton to listen to their uniquely personal stories, without judgment, and to understand their nuanced intimacy needs, fears and wishes. Through the therapeutic process, she expertly transforms this information into individualized advice and functional daily solutions and skills that produce insight and long-lasting change. Cathy draws upon extensive knowledge and experience to deliver intelligent care that melds cognitive, behavioral and psychodynamic modalities.

A graduate of New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center Human Sexuality Program, where Cathy Beaton remains actively involved, she is also a graduate of Westchester Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy. Her professional knowledge of sex, love and relationships inspired Cathy to work with women and men whose psychosexual symptoms and histories make them more vulnerable to problems with trust and secure attachment, which may contribute to psychological distress in intimate relationships.

Cathy Beaton's professional memberships include: American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT); Society for Sex Therapy and Research (SSTAR); National Association for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis (NAAP); New York-Presbyterian Hospital Human Sexuality Program.
