Program Coordinator and Parents’ Meeting Leader

Catherine Beckett
Catherine Beckett, LCSW, PhD, obtained her undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies and began her career working as a wilderness course instructor for Outward Bound in the White Mountains. After returning to graduate school to become a psychotherapist, she received additional training in Ecotherapy, and continues to hold deep respect for the strong role that connection to nature can play in mental health. Her son Dylan showed interest in advocating for environmental justice at an early age, and Catherine was pleased to be connected first with Plant for the Planet, and later with Climate Change Recovery, as a Program Coordinator and Parent Advocate. She believes empowerment and action can be two of the greatest antidotes to hopelessness and despair.
