Dr. Kathleen (Kathy) Pike is a clinical psychologist and nonprofit leader with over four decades of work advancing mental health around the world. A leader in the field of global mental health and eating disorders, Kathy knows how deeply nutrition, environment, and community shape health. That conviction has grown into a lasting interest in how food, farming, and ecology support the well-being of people and the places they live. 

Kathy is CEO of One Mind, a nonprofit that equips leaders in research, innovation and the workplace to improve mental health. She is Professor Emerita at Columbia University’s Department of Psychiatry and Mailman School of Public Health, where she founded the Columbia-WHO Center for Global Mental Health. She has worked across Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America with ministries of health, community organizations and policy leaders. Among other honors, she received the 2021 American Psychological Association Award for Distinguished Contributions to the International Advancement of Psychology.

Kathy holds an undergraduate degree from Johns Hopkins University and a PhD in clinical psychology from Yale. She grew up not far from Stone Barns, where childhood walks through the woods and meadows of Rockefeller State Park Preserve taught her that the health of the land and the health of people are one and the same. A passionate beekeeper and cyclist, she can often be found tending her apiary or traveling to ride in beautiful places. She lives in New York.
