Katherine Mahan

Licensed Professional Counselor

“I am a licensed professional counselor with more than a decade of post-graduate clinical experience with the young adult population. I’m also a human being who’s living in this beautiful, challenging world, just like you.”

About Me

I understand the unique pressures young adults face in today’s complex world. My aim is to create a grounded space where you can openly explore challenges and find clarity. We’ll work together to make sense of your experiences. This collaborative approach helps you navigate transitions and build resilience. You can feel truly heard and supported through life's ups and downs.

Approach

Sharing this messy, meaningful life with you shapes how I work: steady, attentive, and attuned to practical steps. I meet people in Richmond or online in English, keeping sessions paced to your rhythm and balancing reflection with realistic change. We name patterns, try small shifts, and track what actually changes so you can leave feeling clearer and more capable. This way of working tends to suit people facing transitions, burnout, or relationship pressures who want thoughtful, concrete support.
