The Expert
Dr. Katherine Hutchinson
Dr. Katherine Hutchinson, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience in private practice, helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges and transitions. After earning her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Duke University, Dr. Hutchinson dedicated her career to supporting clients through a holistic, compassionate, and evidence-based approach.
Throughout her career, Dr. Hutchinson has worked with hundreds of mothers across all stages of parenting, from pregnancy, through the early days of raising children, to the complexities of launching them into independence. Over time, she recognized a recurring gap: while there is abundant support for moms navigating early and middle parenting, many feel adrift when their children leave home. Women often ask, “What do I do now? What about my next chapter?”
As a mother of two young adults, ages 21 and 18, Dr. Hutchinson has personally experienced this shift. When her own children began their next chapters, she felt the emotional and practical transitions that come when the role of "mom" evolves. This journey inspired her to create Her Next Chapter- a program specifically designed to help other women navigate this life stage with clarity, purpose, and confidence.
Dr. Hutchinson believes that this stage of life is not an ending but an opportunity—a chance for women to rediscover themselves, explore their passions, and create meaningful, intentional lives. Her work combines her professional expertise with her personal understanding of this transition, offering clients a unique blend of insight, tools, and support to thrive in their own “next chapter.”
Whether through individual coaching, group programs, or community resources, Dr. Hutchinson is committed to empowering women to embrace this new phase of life with courage, creativity, and confidence.
