Dr. Gregory Bottaro

Dr. Greg Bottaro, a Catholic psychologist, is the director of the CatholicPsych Institute and the CatholicPsych Academy. He developed the Catholic Mindfulness online course. Before getting his doctorate, he spent four years living as a Franciscan friar, serving the poor in the tradition of St. Francis. He ultimately discerned a call to pursue family life. Six years after leaving NYC as a friar, Dr. Bottaro returned as a psychologist. His aim is fundamentally the same - to serve. Instead of serving those suffering material poverty, he now seeks to serve those with psychological needs.

The CatholicPsych mission is to integrate insights from psychology with the Catholic faith to provide the best possible treatment and resources to help people flourish.
