Introduction

*People who are the most successful working with us often feel overwhelmed, depressed and anxious. *They may be of any age, feel they are overly emotional, extra sensitive or emotionally broken. May also be having difficulty functioning in day to day life, feel overwhelmed, have trauma-related issues, or other mental health concerns. *Successful people who have worked with us can tell you they have improved their ability to function and thrive in todays world. *We help identify the root issues causing the current situation and provide you with tools that work to find peace of mind. *We specialize in Highly Sensitive People (HSP’s) and Empaths who are struggling with anxiety, depression or more serious trauma. *Personal experiences help us relate to the people we work with. As an HSP/empath, I have experienced depression and anxiety and know how it can affect a child at school, an adult at work and a parent trying to make it until bedtime. *Professionally Gelana has worked with children and families to provide counseling and parent coaching for over 25 years. She is a former foster, now adoptive parent of 4 amazing adults who are thriving today. *Those who work with Gelana have been professionally vetted and trained based on her knowledge and experience providing services to our community.
