For 15 years, Kathryn Roberts dedicated her career to Family Court, advocating for children and families in complex legal situations. A graduate of Gwynedd Mercy University with a bachelor's degree in social work, she worked tirelessly within the courthouse system. But soon she realized that developing the thick skin needed to navigate that world wasn’t in her nature.
"I wanted to work somewhere where caring a lot was beneficial," Kathryn explains.
Her passion for helping others led her to a medical setting, working with children. But once again, something felt missing. Determined to find her true calling, she enrolled at Holy Family University, where she earned her Master’s in Psychology. This decision proved pivotal, shaping her approach to therapy and deepening her understanding of the human experience.
During her time as an intern with NOVA in Bucks County, Kathryn gained invaluable knowledge. Under the guidance of two exceptional supervisors, she received intensive training in working with children, learning how to navigate trauma and offer meaningful support. NOVA’s work humbled her, revealing the profound impact of prevention, validation, and thoughtful intervention for victims.
Today, Kathryn brings that wealth of experience to Mindful Healing in Doylestown, where she works alongside Joyce Cooney. Here, she has the time and space to truly connect with her clients, reading, researching, and developing customized treatment plans that address their unique needs.
"I love seeing people at all different stages of their lives," she says. "From ages five to eighty, I’ve worked with them all. But I really resonate with teens—their brains are still developing, and I feel I can really help them alter behaviors and make changes that will set them up for success."
Kathryn believes that everyone sees the world through own personal lens, shaped by experiences. She defines trauma as anything that fractures a person's view of themselves, and she finds deep fulfillment in guiding her clients toward healing and clarity.
A firm believer in creative expression, Kathryn incorporates art and music therapy into her practice. "Art therapy gets people out of their heads and talking. Drawing helps process out-of-control feelings and gives a sense of control, just by holding a pencil in their hands."
Beyond her professional life, Kathryn is deeply connected to Doylestown, where she lives, works, and enjoys time with her family. As a mother of two and a dedicated wife, she has found a career that allows her to help others while maintaining the personal life she values so much.
