Ross, Katherine L PHD

Welcome to KR Counseling, a professional practice dedicated to providing individualized support for adults (18 and up) seeking therapy, guidance, and personal growth. As a licensed psychologist, I, Katherine Ross, Ph. D., am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for individuals to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

My Therapy Style

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as interpersonal/psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, and others. I collaborate with clients to choose the approach that best suits their unique needs and goals. I prioritize the therapist-client relationship, recognizing its potential as a powerful catalyst for self-discovery, growth, and positive change.

About Me

As a licensed psychologist, I hold a Ph. D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Maryland - College Park, as well as a Master's degree in Counseling and Psychological Services from the University of Pennsylvania. I completed my doctoral internship/residency at the Catholic University of America and have extensive training in externships, including the University of Maryland and the United States Naval Academy. I am licensed to practice in Washington, D.C. (PSY1001544) and North Carolina (License #5548).

Professional Background

In addition to my experience as a therapist, I have professional experience as an educator, higher education administrator, career counselor, and academic advisor. My diverse background enables me to engage with clients from various academic and professional backgrounds, offering a rich and nuanced understanding of the personal and professional challenges they may face.

Services

At KR Counseling, I offer individual therapy, group therapy, and workshops tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether you are seeking support for relationships, career transitions, or personal growth, I am dedicated to providing a comprehensive and supportive therapy experience.

Individual Therapy

As a licensed therapist, I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through individual therapy, we can work together to identify areas for personal growth, develop coping mechanisms, and create a plan for achieving your goals.

Group Therapy

Group therapy offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who share similar concerns or experiences. Join one of my group offerings to feel supported and less alone as you navigate life's challenges.

Workshops

As a researcher and practitioner, I deliver research-based presentations on a variety of topics, tailored to meet the specific needs of your workplace, classroom, or business. Topics may include stress management, communication, and resilience.
