KATHARINE K. OWENS, Ed.D.

I'm a licensed psychologist, who has been in private practice since 1978, focusing on helping mid-life women create emotional health and healing as they transition from early adult tasks to the second half of life.

The second half of life brings many physical and emotional changes for women.  I am dedicated to joining with women as they explore new possibilities and potential in their lives.  I utilize my 25 + years of experience to help women stretch themselves into rich lives with new potential for meaning, as children leave home, menopause and post-menopause become a reality, peak earning years blossom or possibly retirement, recommitment of a marriage or perhaps divorce.  Most of all it is a time for redefinition of self.  Mid-life is a time of physical, emotional and spiritual changes that some manage with ease, while others are seeking a professional to guide, encourage and support them.  Still others are coping with anxiety or depression at this time.

I'm am a mid-life woman herself, offering both individual and group psychotherapy with women as they search for support through this critical time in their lives.

I earned my Doctor of Education degree, with specialties in Counseling Psychology and Educational Psychology, from Ball State University in 1979.  Listed in the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology, I'm a member of the American Academy of Forensic Examiners, the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, the Association for Death Education and Counseling, and the Maryland Psychological Association, and a founding fellow of the American College of Advanced Practice Psychologists.

I'm currently has a private practice in Annapolis, providing mental health services since 1972.
