Katie Pendergast | Chief of Staff

Katie serves as the Chief of Staff at Rooted Rhythm Therapy, where she helps bring together the many moving pieces that allow the practice to provide exceptional care to children, families, and adults. With a passion for creating systems that support both clinicians and clients, Katie oversees practice operations, team development, onboarding, billing and insurance processes, compliance initiatives, and organizational growth.

As Rooted Rhythm has expanded, Katie has played a key role in building the infrastructure behind the scenes—from developing therapist onboarding programs and operational workflows to improving client experience and supporting the practice's long-term vision. She works closely with leadership to ensure that the heart of Rooted Rhythm's mission remains at the center of every decision, while creating sustainable systems that allow the team to thrive.

Katie is especially passionate about helping mission-driven organizations grow in ways that feel intentional, values-aligned, and supportive of both the people providing care and the families receiving it. She believes that when therapists are well-supported, they can do their best work, and that strong systems create more space for meaningful human connection.

Katie brings a deep commitment to the Rooted Rhythm community and takes pride in helping create an environment where therapists, clients, and families feel cared for from their very first interaction with the practice.
