Katherine (Zhili) Guo (She/Her)

MACP, Registered Psychotherapist
Ethno-Racial Identity: East/Southeast Asian

Katherine is drawn to the quieter, often unseen parts of people’s lives, the ways early relationships, family histories, and unspoken experiences continue to shape how we feel, love, and cope today.

Her work is rooted in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic therapy, informed by narrative, existential, feminist, and polyvagal approaches. She integrates relational depth with somatic awareness, helping clients understand not only their emotions, but the protective strategies that once ensured survival. Katherine works with adults navigating childhood and relational trauma, grief and loss, identity transitions, burnout, and relationship challenges, including those exploring the immigrant experience and bicultural identity.

She is especially passionate about women’s mental health, including the prenatal, perinatal, and postpartum journey, involuntary childlessness, and choosing to be childfree. Katherine views therapy as a space of reclamation and liberation, where clients can untangle inherited narratives, reconnect with their agency, and begin living in ways that feel more self-directed, embodied, and free.
