Catherine A. Lovato, LCSW
In-person sessions in Albuquerque. Virtual therapy anywhere in New Mexico.
“I started therapy with Cathy because I was feeling depressed after a breakup with my fiancé. I felt like I’d never have a good, lasting relationship. Through our work, I uncovered a lot of beliefs I was carrying about relationships, roles, and what I thought I deserved. Cathy never told me what to do, but she asked questions that helped me work through things with her support. I’ve learned so much about myself, and relationships no longer feel like such a mystery. I realized I have the power to make different, better choices. Cathy is a great therapist and helped me a lot.”
Therapy isn’t just what I do—it’s something I genuinely care about.
I’ve spent over 30 years helping people untangle their pain, understand themselves more deeply, and build lives that feel more grounded, connected, and authentic.
My style is warm, steady, and deeply present.
I’m not here to give you advice from a distance—I’m right there with you, helping you make sense of it all and guiding you toward something better.

Here’s what I often hear from clients: “You really see me.”
They tell me they feel safe, understood, and gently challenged in ways that help them grow.
I’m warm and calm, but I won’t just nod and smile—I’ll ask the questions that help you go deeper.
I want you to leave each session with a little more clarity or curiosity about your feelings and more connected to who you really are.
