I provide mediation in family matters of custody, parenting time, and divorce.
You have choices, and sometimes all the choices suck. They just do. I help you find your way through the choices. I believe you matter, and your feelings matter. You don't matter more than anyone else, but you certainly don't matter less! I work hard to understand what you're experiencing. I have a direct style of communicating, so you will know what I believe. While counseling isn't inherently fast, I won't waste your time. You can read more about my style at www.KatherineGuy.com.

I believe providing clinical services is a privilege, and partner with you to strategize achieving your goals and empower you towards living out your authentic life. Mental Health care is the exercise of mental wellness just as we exercise our body. A safe trusting relationship with your therapist is the foundation of care, and I promise to never ask you to do something I wouldn't ask of myself. Some therapists are 'gay friendly', at my practice we are "family".

I wanted to get into the mental health field from a young age, as I was always surrounded by friends and family who struggled with mental health.
I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

I have found great success in the use of CBT, Solution Focused, EMDR, Parent Education, Mindfulness, and Family approaches, but you and I will collaboratively create a treatment plan.
This crazy journey called life can leave us feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, searching for answers we can’t seem to find, or dealt a blow from which it feels impossible to recover. Counseling could aid you in breaking life down into more manageable pieces, inject a fresh perspective inspiring hope, guide you to finding the answers you are looking for, or teach you how to pick yourself up after a particularly brutal blow. Whatever the challenges you face, know there is hope and you are worth fighting for. I want you to know you are not broken, and you don’t need fixing; instead counseling can guide, teach, and revitalize your life.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
