Ross, Katherine L PHD

I am Katherine Ross, a licensed psychologist, therapist, educator, and career counselor located in the heart of downtown Washington, D.C. At KR Counseling, I offer individual, couples, and group therapy for adults (18 years and up) from all walks of life. My specialty lies in working with highly motivated students and professionals seeking improvement in their relationships, career, and personal growth. My aim is to help my clients become the best version of themselves by providing a supportive, safe, and nonjudgmental space for exploration and self-discovery.

Services Offered

I provide a wide range of services that cater to your unique needs. Here are some of the specialty areas I focus on:

• Relationships: I work with clients addressing struggles in relating to others, problems in dating, intimacy issues, challenging family dynamics, and communication.
• Career and Life Transitions: I assist clients navigating work/life balance, career changes, procrastination & perfectionism, workplace stress, pregnancy & work, and the application process.
• Grief & Loss: I help individuals deal with and process the emotions that come with loss and major life changes.
• Personal Growth: This includes exploring identity, questioning sexuality or sexual orientation, and addressing social anxiety.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy involves one-on-one sessions tailored to your specific concerns, designed to increase self-awareness, foster personal growth, and develop healthy coping strategies. I utilize an integrative approach, drawing from interpersonal/psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, and other evidence-based methodologies, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment plan.

Group Therapy

Group therapy offers a supportive and collaborative environment for clients to explore common issues and share experiences. Sessions typically focus on building social skills, enhancing communication, and developing healthy relationships. I facilitate group therapy sessions with the same integrative and personalized approach as individual therapy.

Workshops

KR Counseling offers workshops and seminars aimed at providing practical tools and resources for personal growth and professional development. These workshops include topics on healthy communication, romantic and sexual communication, work/life balance, navigating career and life transitions, and managing stress and anxiety.
