K. GRACE CONSULTING

Kathryn supports start-up Founders & CEOs through the rigorous process of launching, scaling, and (if applicable) ultimately exiting their business. Her clinical licensure combined with her executive business experience affords her the rare opportunity to go deep with clients when necessary, to heal at the root, so that they have the opportunity to stretch their skill set beyond what would have otherwise been possible.

Kathryn believes that human capital is an organization’s most important asset. If leaders can demonstrate this commitment through his/her leadership and actions, the message will filter down to all levels of the organization, influencing its culture and its employees’ relationships with one another.

People yearn for positive role models and leadership at work making it essential for company Founders and Leaders to partner with practitioners that ensure they work in a way that improves their relationships and wellness, and therefore the wellbeing of everyone around.

Kathryn's core focus with her clients is to improve their relationship intelligence. She believes relational dynamics, both personal and professional, are what feed our soul and have quickly become the single most influential component affecting a company’s bottom line. Our personal relationships seep into our work lives and vice versa. We do not magically become a different person when we walk into the office, just as we do not magically shut off the stress from work the moment we walk into our home.

Unpacking our experiences and redefining our belief systems to authentically approach life with positivity and a bountiful perspective enables us to show up and engage in relationships in a healthy manner that provide mutual joy. I believe this is the key to happiness.

Harvard Business School professor and author of The Founder's Dilemmas, Noam Wasserman's, study revealed that 65% of startups fail due to Co-founder conflict. Kathryn's practice is determined to unpack this statistic to prevent unhealthy co-founder relationship dynmaics from destroying a business's ability to disrupt and thrive.

A healthy Co- founder relationship opens the gates for disruptive ideas to have the opportunity to reach the market, allows entrepreneurs to continue developing game-changing businesses without the trauma that comes from unwinding a startup, and provides employees with the necessary role-modeling so that they prioritize carrying on healthy relationships with their co-workers.

Through years of working with Founders and Executives Kathryn has discovered that several core psychotherapeutic themes arise for clients in this high stress, vulnerable, and volitile position. Kathryn has accumulated a plethora of tools to address inner child work, imposter syndrome, addictions, anxiety, depression, relational intelligence, and perfection paralysis for her clients.

Kathryn's approach is informed by traditional psychotherapeutic modalities and theories, such as CBT, life course, neuroplastcity, and DBT, however, I believe that no one modality is the answer. Rather, an amalgamation of modalities, deep listening, an understanding of an individual’s nutritional and dietary habits, mindfulness techniques, and creative thought to reveal the root cause, that prompted an individual to seek help, allows clinicians to collaborate with their client to curate a personalized recipe for healing and success.
