Catherine Pearlman, PhD, LCSW has been working professionally with children and families for 17 years. During that span she has used her skills in myriad settings, including schools, camps, Boys and Girls Clubs, and in the homes of families. Her greatest satisfaction has come from helping hundreds of families learn to lead happier, more fulfilled lives.  

After seeing so many families -- including her own --struggle with similar issues, Catherine started The Family Coach, LLC. to help parents solve the every day problems that so many of us experience.

As The Family Coach, Catherine believes that there isn’t one solution for everyone.  Instead, the best way to resolve an issue is with a unique, individualized plan that takes into account such factors as the family’s schedule, lifestyle and personality. Catherine is a calming presence who listens carefully and offers user-friendly advice to immediately improve the happiness in a household.

Catherine received her Doctorate in Social Welfare at Yeshiva University and a Master's degree of Social Work from New York University. Her Bachelor's degree in the History of Medicine and Sociology is from Bucknell University. Catherine lives in Westchester, NY with her husband and two children.
