I have followed all the steps to mine Ethereum and I am currently mining, but where does what I have mined go?
Is it through the address that I was given through Geth?
How do access the mined Ethereum?

If you are mining in ethermine.org you should see your current mined ETH in the search bar. Just write your address and you'll see it.
Although I don't know if you are mining on your own or not.
Assuming you're mining with your own rig, any mining rewards - paid in ether - get deposited into the coinbase (aka. etherbase) account on your system.
See the following for a thorough description of which account this actually is: What is coinbase?
I believe that if this account hadn't been set up, then you wouldn't have been able to start mining - there would have been an error message.
From the geth console you can run eth.getBalance(eth.coinbase)
to see its current balance.
