Catesby E. Buteau

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

As a licensed clinical social worker, my focus is on the big picture. I help clients take in the scope of their lives. Using eclectic and integrative techniques, I work with individuals as partners to identify problems, their effects, underlying patterns, and practice solutions. My training focuses on stress-related disorders, relationship issues, behavioral problems and systemic dysfunctions.

Change can be uncomfortable, but the result is relief, as well as a happier and more sustainable life. Clients leave with their own, personal toolbox, with which they can build a life they truly enjoy long-term. Throughout the therapeutic process clients learn to identify their patterns; evaluate the ways in which those patterns help and hinder goals; address how they interact with the other individuals; and practice the pursuit of meaning, integrity and joy.

Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership roles at institutions such as NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell, Columbia University, and other systems, where I provided direct care, supervised clinical teams, and designed trauma-focused programs. In 2020, I was honored to receive the Rape Crisis Professional Award from the New York City Alliance Against Sexual Assault, and I’ve had the privilege of supervising master’s-level social work students throughout my career.
