Special Note : William F. Northey, Jr., Ph.D., LMFT (Dr. Bill) is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Bellefonte, Delaware, with over 30 years of experience helping children, parents, and families navigate complex transitions—especially divorce, co-parenting, and high-conflict family dynamics. As Clinical Director of the Bellefonte Center for Children and Families, Dr. Bill is known for his ability to help families who feel “stuck” find practical, effective paths forward. A “true-blue” marriage and family therapist, Dr. Bill holds both master’s and doctoral degrees in the field and is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in Strategic Family Therapy. His work focuses less on why problems exist and more on how families can resolve them efficiently, often in a relatively short period of time. He believes therapy should empower families, not create dependency, and often jokes that his goal is to “work himself out of a job." Dr. Bill has trained clinicians around the world on co-parenting, substance use disorders, and high-conflict custody cases, and has published extensively in leading professional journals. He is deeply committed to the belief that people are inherently good—and that with the right support, even the most challenging family situations can move toward stability, cooperation, and healing.
