Kathleen Seow
My private practice is dedicated to supporting professional adults in Virginia who value a thoughtful, private, and personalized approach to counseling. I understand that even highly capable and successful individuals can experience periods of stress, transition, uncertainty, or simply feel that something in life needs greater attention and balance. My style is warm, compassionate, and thorough. I take the time to understand you as a whole person—your experiences, responsibilities, relationships, and goals. Our work together is highly individualized, integrating a holistic approach with a concierge-level counseling experience tailored to your unique needs. My journey in the mental health field has been shaped by diverse professional and cultural experiences, including my own time in Corporate America and living and working overseas. These experiences have given me a meaningful understanding of the unique demands professional adults may face while balancing career, relationships, family responsibilities, life transitions, and personal well-being. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in respected clinical and academic settings, including Yale-NUS College in Singapore, HCA Parham Doctors’ Hospital, WellSpan Philhaven Hospital, and White Mountain Apache Tribal Regional Behavioral Health Services in Arizona. These experiences allow me to bring a thoughtful, culturally informed, and individualized perspective to my work. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, eating-related concerns, and relationship or interpersonal challenges. Together, we will develop a personalized approach that reflects your needs, goals, and pace—without pressure or judgment. I currently offer in-person and Telehealth appointments with convenient self-scheduling. If you are seeking couples counseling, please contact the office before scheduling your first appointment. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you along the way.
First session
In your first session we will get to know each other, address your goals for counseling and leave plenty of time for you to talk about why you are seeking counseling.
Strengths
My approach is compassionate, based on a foundation of evidence based practices with a holistic approach.
Ideal clients
I work especially well with professional adults who may be navigating anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, eating-related issues, or interpersonal challenges in their relationships. Many of my clients are high-achieving, goal-oriented individuals who are accustomed to managing significant responsibilities, yet recognize when something in their lives needs greater attention and support. My practice is often a good fit for clients who are motivated for change and value a thoughtful, collaborative approach to counseling. I understand the demands of a busy professional life, so I offer flexibility and consistent scheduling to help make counseling easier to incorporate into your routine. Whether we meet in person or through Telehealth, my goal is to provide a warm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My approach is culturally sensitive and individualized, honoring each client’s unique background, experiences, values, and perspective. Above all, I strive to create a space where every client feels welcomed, respected, and supported as we work together toward meaningful and lasting change.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) within a holistic, whole-person approach to counseling. Together, we explore how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence your well-being while also considering important lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, stress management, relationships, and overall self-care. My goal is to provide practical tools, support, and encouragement to help you create meaningful, lasting changes that support both your mental and physical well-being.
Attachment-based
I use Attachment-Based Therapy within a holistic, whole-person approach to counseling. Attachment therapy focuses on understanding how early relationships and life experiences shape the way we view ourselves, relate to others, and respond to stress, conflict, and emotional challenges. Together, we explore patterns in relationships, build greater self-awareness, and develop healthier ways of connecting with others.
Compassion Focused
I use Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) within a holistic, whole-person approach to counseling. CFT helps individuals develop greater self-compassion, reduce self-criticism, and respond to life's challenges with kindness and understanding rather than judgment. Together, we explore patterns of thinking and emotional responses while learning skills to cultivate inner strength, resilience, and emotional balance.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I provide culturally sensitive therapy within a holistic, whole-person approach to counseling. I recognize that our cultural backgrounds, identities, values, family experiences, and life circumstances all play an important role in shaping how we see ourselves and navigate the world. Together, we explore your unique experiences in a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and valued.
Christian Counseling
Christian counseling is for clients who wish to integrate their faith into therapy. Together, we can combine evidence-based counseling with Christian values and spiritual reflection to support emotional healing, healthier relationships, resilience, and personal growth. Your beliefs and comfort level guide how faith is incorporated into our work together.
