Catherine Hallam

I am Licensed Professional Counselor in Tennessee and Arizona and board-certified counselor three area concentrations.

  • I specialize in assisting neurodivergent adolescents and adults develop sustainable life long skills.

  • I am a registered PlayTherapy and AutPlay therapist.

  • Additionally, I hold an advanced certification as an Autism Specialist.

Working with the neurodivergent population is a particular passion of my mine, and I have dedicated a majority of my schooling and study to its study. My masters thesis explored how we can close the gap between the neurodivergent population and the lack of career counselors trained to support it. As I pursue my doctoral degree, the neurodivergent populate continues to be a particular focus of my long term research including additional educational support for teachers, an examination of current training models, and methods to improve the outcomes of neurodivergent students.

I give back to my profession by working as an adjunct professor for Grand Canyon University’s Behavioral Science Department. I support future counselors as a certified counseling license supervisor. I provide license supervision in a variety of counseling areas.

Education and Background:

  • University of Texas-Master of Education, Professional Education with concentration in Counseling
  • Northwestern University, Master of Arts, Clinical Mental Health Counseling
  • Doctoral Candidate, General Psychology with an emphasis in Cognition and Instruction
