Interview with Photographic Journalist Cathy Lander-Goldberg Cathy Lander-Goldberg

Good morning, Cathy, and welcome to Vision and Verse, the place for Art and Authors. Thank you for taking the time to be with us .What have you written?
In addition to journalistic articles, I have written
PHOTO EXPLORATIONS: A Girl's Guide to Self-Discovery  through Photography, Writing and Drawing, a workbook for girls to better understand themselves, strive for a balanced life and set meaningful goals for the future. Readers use past photos and new images created through picture-taking and drawing to promote self-awareness and self-esteem.  Although designed for individual girls, many of the activities may be done in groups, so this is a wonderful tool for teachers, school counselors and youth leaders who want to help girls thrive. Although the exercises in the workbook are meaningful and empowering for all, the book is recommended for girls and adolescents ages 9 through 15. (Younger girls may choose to work with a parent, which provides a creative opportunity for connection.) Non fiction.

Anne Lamott’s Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy

I actually make my living as a psychotherapist, professional photographer and educator.  My workbook is used as a tool to empower girls. My journalistic writing has been about topics related to my interests such as body image, photography and resilience.

I have been fortunate to have many female teachers and mentors throughout my life who have taught me skills but more importantly cheered me on and help build my confidence, which comes in handy in all of my work.

Oprah...I think we would have a lot to discuss on topics we are both passionate about such as empowering girls and women, self-image and resilience.

Give yourself permission to write...a journal, poetry, essays, fiction without worrying how good may be. Set your critic aside and write what interests you, and worry about your audience later. Bio: Cathy Lander-Goldberg, MSW, LCSW, is a psychotherapist with a focus on women’s issues.  She is the director of Photo Explorations, which offers workshops for girls and women, which utilize self-expression through creative arts.  She also is the photographer/curator of The Resilient Souls Project, a traveling photo and literary exhibition, which celebrates women’s inner strength.  More information on her work may be found at www.CLGphoto.com and on FaceBook and Instagram at
