About
I’m Dr. Michael Catalanello and I have been a licensed psychologist for over 29 years. I have an independent psychology practice in Hammond, LA.
In my professional work I use a treatment approach known as cognitive behavior therapy. This form of therapy helps people identify problematic emotions, thoughts, and behavior, and then provides methods to change them to live a happier and more satisfying life. One key component of this treatment involves building a strong alliance between the client and therapist so that we work together as a team.
Accordingly, I want to try to get to know and understand you as best I can. In order to do so I rely upon the feedback I receive from you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and I’ll answer them to the best of my ability. This is your space and I sincerely want to know what you find helpful, and what you find not so helpful. As we work together, I’ll explain the “nuts and bolts” of the therapeutic process.
A little about me: I am passionate about foreign travel, and have lived and worked professionally overseas in Thailand, Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as here in the United States. I enjoy learning about foreign cultures and customs and love Thai food.
Please tell me a little about yourself, and what concerns bring you to Find A Therapist. I look forward to meeting you and helping you move toward a happier and more fulfilling life.
