Center for Family Resolution

Kathryn A. Rogers, MSW, LGSW, and Francene S. Sigai, MS, LCSW-C are highly qualified, experienced mental health professionals and mediators. Their life work has been dedicated to educating families about the effects of separation and divorce on children while working with them in an effort to make their lives more manageable. Their work has led them to realize that the earlier they intervene in people's lives, the greater chance there is of maintaining and enhancing relationships. As a result, The Center for Family Resolution expanded to include individual, pre-marital and marital counseling.

Ms. Sigai and Ms. Rogers developed the program, "Successful Parenting When Families Live Apart" which is offered in both the Baltimore and Harford County Circuit Courts. They also developed programs for the Courts to address chronic and high conflict families who are at risk due to domestic violence, substance abuse, or mental health concerns They have testified as expert witnesses in child custody cases and have also been assigned by the court as Parent Coordinators to assist high conflict families in making decisions about their children.

The Center for Family Resolution provides a continuum of services. For those couples experiencing difficulties in their relationhship, we provide couples counseling and will work with you to enhance and improve your relationship. For those who have made the difficult decision to separate or divorce we have services to assist you and your children during the adjustment period.
