Biography

Kate Richey joined Berklee in March 2018 and previously worked as a part of Berklee’s Counseling Services team. She received her Bachelor of Arts from Carleton College and her Master of Arts in counseling psychology from Boston College. 

Transitioning from counseling to advocacy has allowed her to focus specifically on supporting students who have experienced sexual or relationship violence. Her approach to advocacy is collaborative with an emphasis on helping students feel respected, heard, valued, and safe. She believes that survivors are the experts in their own lives and should be empowered to make their own decisions around their healing experience, their medical/mental health care, their safety, and their story. 

Outside of Berklee, she enjoys reading, puzzles, and spending time with her family, friends, and dog. You can reach her at krichey@berklee.edu or 617-747-6657.
