Getting to know Catherine Herling

Catherine Bush-Herling works with individuals, couples, and families at any life stage. She is passionate about helping clients who want to look both inward and outward to improve their lives and relationships. Catherine understands that people often struggle to balance connectedness and independence during life transitions. She believes exploring one’s identity with the support of loved ones helps navigate these periods successfully. During transitions, people may feel lost and disconnected from loved ones, needing a safe space to voice experiences and learn new ways to express their needs within their support network. Catherine recognizes that those who identify as LGBTQ+ or neurodivergent have an even greater need for connection and support. She provides a safe space for processing trauma and hurt, guiding clients through managing parts of their journey independently and seeking support when needed. Catherine uses a collaborative, strengths-based approach, often drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT). She explores family patterns and themes with clients, separating helpful from harmful in a supportive environment. She specializes in working with couples, families, adults, and adolescents, focusing on coping after a long-term condition diagnosis or major life event. Understanding the challenges these situations present for families and individuals, Catherine offers a warm, empathetic space. She helps clients and loved ones understand what these changes mean and build skills to move forward meaningfully. Catherine earned her Master’s in Family Therapy from Thomas Jefferson University and holds a Bachelor’s from Robert Morris University.
