Logan’s professional career started off in a very different direction than where she finds herself today. When it came to picking her undergraduate major she went for what she saw as the safest career path – finance. After graduating and spending six years working in marketing and finance, she hit a wall – both professionally and personally, and began to question her career path. She knew deep down this career trajectory was not in alignment with her values. But Logan never thought her career path included being in a Marriage and Family Therapy graduate program at John F. Kennedy University. She was fearful of starting over professionally yet excited that she had finally found her calling. Logan is currently an intern at Family Services Agency of the Central Coast (FSA), in Santa Cruz, California. Training at FSA allows her the opportunity to work with a variety of client populations, which she believes will make her a more rounded therapist. Logan feels honored to have a budding career in a field that she is passionate about that is dedicated to helping clients live their truth and find love within themselves.
Kolmi has devoted her professional work to the empowerment and health of youth and families for over twenty years. She was born and raised in the wild beauty and rich culture of Calcutta and later moved to California. She has a degree in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Barbara, and served as a youth mentor, mentor-trainer, and development staff for Wilderness Youth Project. In 2005, Kolmi and her husband, as part of a small team, co-founded Quail Springs Permaculture, an educational nonprofit and land-based learning center in the Cuyama Valley, where she and her family lived and worked on the land and off-the-grid until 2014. Since then, she has worked as an administrative director of a nature-based early childhood program to support her family while she transitions into working as a psychotherapist. In 2017, Kolmi began the Master’s in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, working toward licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist. She is finally making the career change to the work she feels called to do. While going to graduate school full time, and maintaining a traineeship at Hospice of Santa Barbara, she has continued to work 30 hours a week at her administrative job in order to support her family.
