MEET THE FOUNDER

DR. CHARLEANEA ARELLANO

I’m a Psychologist and Transformational Life Coach who helps individuals break through limiting beliefs, unearth what life has intended for them, and discover what makes them thrive.


With over 30 years of experience as a psychologist and life coach, I have helped my clients overcome personal adversity and use it as a springboard into greatness. I focus on helping people heal, grow, and transform limiting beliefs into empowering beliefs, so they can uncover what is meant for them and create a life they love. 


I have created a safe space of inclusivity by embracing what makes people unique, in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, education, and national origin.

TESTIMONIALS

“She brings an insurmountable amount of knowledge, joy, and laughter to every session and challenges me when I need it. I was at the lowest point in my life when I ended up in her office. From the first day she helped me to self-reflect in an environment free of judgement. She would help me lean into the pain, giving me time and space to find the true undercurrent of the issues at hand. She would recommend books, give me homework and I felt like I had an incredible ally in the crazy journey of finding my way back to myself. She guided me on the spiritual journey outside of religion, to help me reconnect to a higher understanding and clarity of why we are here and how to use the gifts we are given to improve our life instead of self-sabotage. I feel like she saved me, or rather she helped me to save myself.”

— A.S.

“In less than a year my life was completely transformed! When I began working with Dr. Arellano, I was in experiencing depression, stress, and anxiety in nearly every aspect of my life. Although I had a relatively comfortable life and had much for which to be grateful, something was missing. I felt I was on the wrong path, primarily, my life in my chosen profession. I was uninspired and unfulfilled.


Dr. Arellano helped me recognize my situation and gave me a simple, yet profoundly powerful structure in which I could chart a new path in life. At first, I did not see how her advice and guidance could possibly work for me - It was so simple and subtle! Yet I followed it to a tee and it did not take long for me to see actual results!”

— F.L.

“I am profoundly grateful to Charleanea for helping me to awaken my true self and encouraging me to follow my dreams.


Despite many years of therapy to heal past trauma, I still felt tied to the past. Old ways of coping, and old perceptions of myself led me to repeat self-defeating thought patterns and behaviors. Charleanea helped me to find my true self and trust my inner wisdom. She connected deeply to both the spiritual and emotional parts of my being. With great insight, warmth, nonjudgmental compassion and wisdom she encouraged me to find and follow my own path. I now feel free to strive to my fullest potential. I feel a deep joy in living.”

— D.S.

“My experience with Dr. Arellano was life changing in every sense of the word.


I had the great pleasure of working with Dr. Arellano while I was on a six month sabbatical. Of course, at the time I thought I was the only 47 year old dad who doubted his place in the universe. With great compassion, insight - and fun - Charleanea taught me practical skills to assess and manage my life. I recently returned to work invigorated and in control. (Ask her about dragging your boxes out into the light!).”

— E.A.H.

“She has always been a non-judgmental voice of wisdom and solace in the midst of many storms, and has helped me to reach the centered, grounded place I now live life from.”

— T.T.

"I recommend Dr. Charleanea Arellano, as an exceptional life coach who has made a profound impact on my personal and professional development. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Dr. Arellano for the last five years, and I can confidently attest to her expertise, dedication, and transformative influence.


Dr. Arellano has a remarkable ability to listen attentively and empathetically, she creates a safe and supportive environment where clients like myself can openly explore challenges and aspirations. Dr. Arellano has a unique talent for asking thought-provoking questions that guide one to deep introspection and clarity. Through our sessions, I have gained invaluable insights into my strengths, areas of growth, and the power of vulnerability in my life.


What sets Dr. Arellano apart is her genuine commitment to my success and well-being. She not only provides practical guidance but also empowers me to cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and confidence in navigating life's complexities. Her approach is both personalized and holistic, addressing both professional aspirations and personal fulfillment.


I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Arellano to anyone seeking profound personal or professional growth. She is a beacon of support and wisdom, capable of guiding individuals through transformative journeys with compassion, insight, and integrity."

WHAT IS COACHING?

International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought—provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

HOW DOES COACHING DIFFER FROM PSYCHOTHERAPY?

Psychotherapy focuses on “problems” that require solutions. In coaching, an individual may be seeking solutions, but these solutions often center around enhancing one's life experience, not on addressing a specific problem. In psychotherapy, an individual is viewed as damaged or broken and requires healing. In coaching, there is essentially nothing wrong with the individual, so there is nothing to fix. Instead, the individual seeking coaching services may lack clarity and/or direction in terms of optimizing one's life experience. In addition, psychotherapy focuses primarily on healing unresolved psychological issues of the past. Coaching, on the other hand, focuses predominantly on the present and future by assisting individuals in setting very clear, and specific goals that they want to achieve. While the past may be discussed in coaching, it is only in the context of how it is blocking the individual from moving forward. Likewise, coaching places emphasis on translating self-discovery into movement and action and psychotherapy places emphasis on healing through insight or understanding. In this regard, coaching focuses on the how and psychotherapy focuses on the why. Fundamentally, psychotherapy's goal is to promote average functioning and coaching's goal is to encourage individuals to reach their fullest potential.
