About
Kathleen “Kathy” Gestwitz, MHC
I believe that people are created for relationship. Sadly, our own behaviors, or that of another can deeply wound us, leaving us feeling alone, abandoned, and maybe even resentful. The good news is that although many are hurt in relationships, healing can take place by building healthy relationships. My desire and passion is to come alongside my clients, and create a space where healing relationships are cultivated and grown.
Like many women, I have multiple roles, with varying responsibilities. Some of my favorite roles are wife, mother, grandmother, and counselor. I have learned that if I neglect my relationship with God, my other relationships inevitably suffer. Therefore, I work hard to prioritize my time with God, live according to my values, and set healthy boundaries. I would love the opportunity to help you do the same.
I received my BS in Psychology, and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. It has been my pleasure to serve as a substance use counselor, case manager, and an outpatient community services counselor.

My approach is to meet you with empathy and to create a safe space for you to process emotions/big feels, thoughts, relationships, life change(s), significant events, areas of self-esteem, loss, and/or overwhelming symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and/or panic at a pace that works best for you or your child. I truly love this work and the clients I work with. I hope to help people experience a judgment free place to share, explore and heal. Changes whether expected or unexpected, can be difficult and leave us feeling confused, disappointed, anxious, and overwhelmed. I have experienced much change myself and although it often brings discomfort and fear of the unknown, change is inevitable. Change pulls us out of our comfort zone, and it allows us to learn and grow.
Personally, I enjoy being active and being outside in nature and spending time with family and friends. I am grateful for my faith in God as God has been my source of strength and ever-present help in time of need. I approach life with a healthy dose of humor and gratitude.
My professional background includes working with children, adults, and families for the past 22 years. This work has included supporting families to communicate better, to create spaces to process significant events and dynamics which may have been overwhelming and/or traumatic, to manage family conflict, and ultimately to bring healing in relationships. Also, I have loved working with adults in individual and/or group sessions to gain knowledge, tools, and practice to support their recovery and to find meaning and purpose in their lives.

In my years of experience working with people, I’ve discovered that I enjoy inspiring others to move past fears, insecurities and pain to move toward the “full and abundant life.” I’ve been through my fair share of ups, downs, surprises, and frustrations in life. I’ve realized for myself and others that it’s often those gut wrenching moments that bring us our greatest opportunities for insight, transformation and growth. I love helping others find the life they were meant to live, living in balance, and peace, often amidst the storms.
While I’m a busy woman myself, as a wife, mother, and business owner, I strive for balance on a daily basis. I try my best to practice what i preach- focusing on my priorities, saying no when it’s needed, letting go of perfectionism and surrendering to God. Some days i do better than others- but it sure feels good to be moving in the right direction, and I want to help you get there too.
I received my bachelors from Palm Beach Atlantic University. I then attended Focus on the Family Institute in Colorado, studying marriage, and family. Later I received my Masters in Clinical Social Work from Barry University in Miami FL and became licensed. I’ve had the pleasure of helping others at various institutions and settings such as an partial hospitalization program for behavioral health, residential ministry, a residential dual diagnosis treatment program, a home based family program assisting women and families through pregnancy and postpartum period, group and private practice.
