Kate Scharff, LCSW-C, LICSW
Welcome... I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in helping children, adults, couples, and families to successfully address and navigate a wide range of issues, including those related to anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, marital difficulty, parenting, and difficult life transitions. For the past 10 years a large part of my work has been devoted to the area of separation and divorce. I wear many hats in that area of practice-- among them mediator, divorce consultant, parenting coordinator, and Collaborative Divorce practitioner.
In addition to my clinical practice I dedicate much of my time to writing and to training other therapists and divorce specialists around the country. I am the author of several articles and book chapters on such topics as psychodynamic psychotherapy, parenting, divorce, and Collaborative Practice, and of two books: Therapy Demystified: A Guide to Getting the Right Help (Without Going Broke), and Navigating Emotional Currents in Collaborative Divorce: A Guide to Enlightened Team Practice.
On this site you will find information about all aspects of my work--including my clinical practice (both general and divorce-related), writings, and professional affiliations. You will also find a link to my Divorce Blog, a source of thoughtful, useful advice for anyone considering divorce, in the process of divorce, co-parenting in divorce, or coping after divorce. Feel free to send me your questions-- I’d love to hear from you!
