About me

Hi there, I’m glad you are taking the first step to find more happiness within your relationship.

My name is Katharine and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have master’s degree in clinical social work and an additional master’s in sex and relationship therapy.

I am extremely passionate about couple’s counseling and work to form strong relationships with the couples I see. I provide a safe environment where you and your partner will feel comfortable to discuss your deepest concerns, wishes and fears. It can be difficult to discuss intimacy and it is important to find a counselor with additional training in sex and relationship therapy, such as myself.

I believe that you and your partner have the strength within to make important changes which will greatly benefit your relationship. My role in that journey is to support and empower you to reach the goals you set. I have an optimistic mindset and work to encourage and build up the clients I see.

I work a solution focused approach, which means that I want to help you reach your goals quickly and efficiently. This often means that there is "homework" between our sessions to ensure you are working towards the changes you seek. If you're unsure about the solution focus approach and want to learn more, we can do a session to see if it would be a fit for you.

I have worked in different settings including private practice, medical settings, and community based mental health. I have seen clients who are struggling with body image, communication, intimacy and desire issues, anxiety and depression.

I look forward to working with you!

I take confidentiality seriously and will not disclose the confidential information you share without your consent, except under the circumstances that I believe you are a danger to yourself or others. Pennsylvania state law requires me to disclose information in these cases. By continuing to seek therapy with me you are agreeing to these terms. If you are not agreeable to these terms, I recommend you find another provider.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Katharine Starrantino. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Katharine is wonderful and saved our marriage. She doesn't take sides and is very understanding. I feel like we'd be friends in a different circumstance. She's showed us how to communicate and how to love in a healthy way. I am so grateful we got a counselor so wonderful.
