HOW IT ALL STARTED
Kymn was doing her Internship at Harris County Psychiatric Center (HCPC) when she came across a document that used the word “Conative.” She had never heard the word before and looked it up. It was deemed “a great word” and she wrote it on a Post-It note and stuck it on a kitchen cabinet so she wouldn’t forget it. Soon thereafter, during their morning coffee time, Don and Kymn decided “The Conative Group” sounded like a good name for a psychology practice, and domain names were purchased.
The Conative Group was then incorporated in August 2016.
Founders: Kimberly “Kymn” Harrison, Ph.D. and her husband, Don Harrison.
