Centering Partnership & Cultural Humility
Reinvigorate your sense of purpose, connection and capacity in a historical moment when you are so greatly needed.
Kat Castañeda, MSW, LICSW, ACC, Co-Founder- Equity Grounded Coaching
For the last two decades, I have been devoted to integrating social justice values, mental health awareness, and attention to the complexity of people's identities and experiences. Centering partnership and cultural humility, I provide coaching, consulting and training to leaders, managers and staff in human service and non-profit settings. My work is based on the conviction that expressing ourselves authentically is central to our individual and collective thriving. It is essential to me that those I work with feel seen and heard as we engage with challenges, lift up strengths, celebrate growth, and nurture relationships.
