Why We’re Here

 

 

Katherine Kirkinis, Ph.D., Founder

I started my career as a psychotherapist in a private practice working with young adults around identity issues (racial and gender identity, to be exact). It turns out, when you ask people about identify and mental health, career often comes up. It turned out that career, identity, and mental health are intertwined for many people. My work became centered around themes of career change and wanting to feel more fulfillment in their work lives. 

My small practice became shockingly popular—most therapists dread working with career issues and they were sending all their career confused clients to me! I had so many clients coming for career coaching, but no way other than the traditional route (lots of sessions) to help them, and I was frustrated that only the wealthy could afford this type of support. That fueled me to go back to school to pursue a Ph.D. in psychology and to learn more about career assessment and testing.

I continued my career coaching practice while taking a full course load and conducting research, which was…a lot of work! It took a few years of testing and experimentation to compile the right set of validated career assessments that would provide the quick relief and career direction my clients were seeking. I found that with a data-driven approach, I could help clients get to the answer of “what should I do with my life?” in as little as a few hours! 🙌 🙌 🙌

As my work evolved, so did my clients' needs. We have since added supportive Career Coaching and Writing Services to the mix to create full-service, holistic career support. On top of that, we’ve made Social Justice a core part of our mission as we work to level the playing field in the workplace.
