Our Founding

Katharine Steffes founded Luminous Psychotherapy, LLC with a clear and deeply personal mission: to create a therapy practice where children, adolescents, adults, and families feel truly seen, supported, and empowered in their healing.

After witnessing how overwhelming it can be for individuals and families to find compassionate, effective mental health care, she envisioned a space that felt different; one rooted in warmth, trust, clinical excellence, and genuine human connection. Luminous Psychotherapy was created to be more than a place for therapy; it was designed to be a safe, grounding environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, build resilience, and reconnect with hope.

The name Luminous reflects the heart of the practice: the belief that even in seasons of anxiety, depression, conflict, grief, or uncertainty, there is still light within every person. Katharine founded Luminous Psychotherapy to help clients uncover that light, understand themselves more fully, and move toward meaningful change at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

Located in Annapolis Maryland, Luminous Psychotherapy is committed to providing thoughtful, individualized care for clients navigating life’s challenges. Through a compassionate and client-centered approach, her vision is to help each person feel less alone, more capable, and more connected to their own strength.

At its core, Luminous Psychotherapy was founded on the belief that healing happens through relationship, safety, and trust — and that every client deserves a therapeutic space where they can grow, heal, and shine.
