Katie Bongiorno, LMFT
Katie Bongiorno, LMFT, graduated from Thomas Jefferson University in 2017 with a Master’s degree in family therapy and is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in working with children, teens, adolescents, families, and individuals. She believes in creating a strong therapeutic relationship with her clients, which allows her to warmly challenge them to recognize their strengths and push themselves towards their goals.
Katie has worked with clients of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, as well as those dealing with self-harm, eating disorders, grief, trauma, self-esteem difficulties, work/school struggles, depression, anxiety, behavioral / emotional issues, and relationship issues. She spent two years working as a family-based therapist where she worked with children struggling with mental health diagnoses and traumas as well as complex family dynamics including high-conflict divorce, step-families, life transitions, and families recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. She has helped families to reorganize themselves and help caregivers learn how to communicate with their children and reestablish appropriate hierarchy. She understands that play is the language of children and believes that there is space within therapy to explore this concept. Katie enjoys working with clients to help them realize their potential, create healthy boundaries, and begin to walk down a new path. Katie believes that all of her clients need to feel both empowered and capable and helps them to recognize their internal abilities. She uses herself and her experience with many different populations to help children, individuals, and families learn how to function and lead happy, healthy lives through authentic communication. Katie does not take herself too seriously and will be her genuine self in session. Katie’s therapy dog in training, Henry, can often be found nearby and will gladly be part of your treatment team. |
