I'm delighted to welcome you to my practice. I'm Katie Andrews-Guzman, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Rhode Island, also licensed to provide counseling in Missouri and Connecticut.
Relationships and personal growth are at the heart of our well-being. I specialize in working with couples to strengthen emotional bonds and enhance relationship dynamics through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach grounded in attachment theory that fosters deeper connection and understanding. For individuals facing life's challenges, I offer support through Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, guiding you toward self-discovery and healing by helping you connect with and understand the various parts of yourself.
Currently, all counseling services are provided via telehealth, offering you flexible and accessible support from the comfort of your own space.
Taking the step toward therapy is a courageous act of self-care. I'm here to walk alongside you on this journey toward greater understanding, compassion, and connection.
“The quality of our relationships profoundly shapes the quality of our lives. This includes our relationships with others and our relationship with ourselves.
When life and relationships feel stagnant or overwhelming, we may struggle to navigate these challenging moments. In these times, we long for relief and the discovery of secure, fulfilling connections and renewed direction.
Talk therapy can help us organize our feelings, and help us create insight, clarity, and direction. Deeper experiential therapy work can help us access information about ourselves and our relationships that goes beyond everyday thinking and help us shift the way we show up in life and relationships.
Drawing from my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I offer a nurturing space where individuals and couples can embark on their unique journeys toward healing. I am committed to walking alongside you as you uncover your strengths, heal past wounds, and cultivate fulfilling relationships. Together, we will navigate life's challenges and embrace a path toward growth and healing.”

Testimonials
“Katie has been incredible to talk to. She really truly understands what I have been going through and has offered so many useful ways to think about my current situation. A different and insightful perspective has allowed me to think so much more clearly. There is absolutely no judgement, just pure support which allows me to talk about all the things you’re not supposed to say out loud. Thank you!”

It is wonderful to know that I always have her support, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been instantly matched with the perfect therapist for my needs! I’m so thankful for everything I have learned from her!”
“Katie is a superb counsellor. I was extremely apprehensive in starting counseling but Katie has been nothing short of exceptional in her patience, allowing me to take it at my own pace.
Katie’s ability to ask questions that allow you to come to your own conclusions whilst at the same time not being too probing has been extremely useful for me and has been a key part in developing the right skills and tools to manage myself day-to-day.”
“Katie is an amazing, empathetic listener. Being in a poor place in life often seems to attract a lot of advice, which I find to be very unpleasant and unsatisfactory. It was so nice to just have Katie listen for a change. It felt like someone cared and that they really wanted to help you. Very grateful for that.”
