Katherine Cullen, LCSW

Katherine Cullen, LCSW, is the founder of InteGreatSelf, PLLC. She is licensed to practice clinical social work in New York, Maine, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Katherine obtained her Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from Fordham University in New York City, where she was born and raised. Katherine is trained in evidence-based psychotherapies including EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy), ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), MI (motivational interviewing), Gottman Method couples therapy, and DBT (dialectical behavior therapy). She is also the co-author of The Truth About Exercise Addiction: Understanding the Dark Side of Thinspiration.

Katherine’s passion lies in helping her clients build their inner resources, improve their emotion regulation and communication skills, and increase their tolerance for discomfort. The goal? To enable them to face and overcome their fears, fully embody their potential, have healthier relationships, and sustain long term improvements in overall wellbeing. Katherine firmly believes that trauma and negative past experiences do not have to define a person, nor become their entire identity. You are so much more than a billable code in a diagnostic manual.

Katherine’s approach to psychotherapy is warm, non-judgmental, humorous when it’s appropriate, engaging, and (most importantly) research-backed. She will help you hone skills and techniques proven to reduce stress and improve symptoms of anxiety, panic and depression. She will aid you in processing and making sense of complicated memories, thoughts and feelings. And she will support you in clarifying what your most important goals are as well as navigating around whatever obstacles get in your way.

Katherine has experience treating anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, relationship issues, low self-esteem, time management and motivational challenges, and decision paralysis.
