CONSULTING
The Boardroom and the Dinner Table Are the Same Room.
In a family business, a disagreement about strategy is never just about strategy. It's about loyalty, identity, generational expectations, and the patterns your family has been running for decades.

- "We can't talk about the business without it becoming personal."
- "We work well together until we disagree — then it's a family fight."
- "The same family patterns keep showing up at work."
- "We need to make decisions about the future without damaging the family."
- "There is tension between generations about how the company should be run."
Why This Isn't Standard Consulting
Business consultants solve organizational problems. Therapists address relational ones. But in a family business, the organizational and relational are inseparable — the people around the conference table are also spouses, siblings, parents, and children.
Dr. Castanos is one of the few clinicians in the country who has studied family businesses at the doctoral level. She brings both the precision of a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and the systemic lens of someone who understands how power, succession, and loyalty operate differently when the stakeholders share a last name.
