Charleanea Arellano, Ph.D., BCC

Dr. Charleanea Arellano provides therapeutic life coaching services that focus on intrapersonal healing from complex trauma, self-growth within oneself and within the context of intimate relationships.

Dr. Charleanea Arellano's life's work is inspired by the beautifully powerful resilience of the human spirit. Her heart has been deeply moved by stories of people who have not only overcome personal adversity, but have used this adversity, courageously, as a springboard into greatness. These stories of courage, hope and strength, as well Dr. Arellano’s own life story of hardship, have fueled her passion to help and support others, as they heal themselves and reclaim their personal power in creating an incredible life.

With over 25 years of experience as a psychologist and life coach, as well as her own personal realizations and natural gifts, Dr. Arellano embodies an ideal balance of expertise, compassion and wisdom as she supports you in transforming your life. She partners with you to move efficiently toward greater possibilities. With a strong belief in the power of human spirit and wisdom, her professional training as a strong foundation, her deep sense of compassion and ability to "get it," as well as her ability to listen deeply and ask the right questions, Dr. Arellano is the bridge you may need to get you from where you are to where you want to be. Dr. Arellano provides an ideal balance of safety for exploration and results-oriented structure for success. She has a natural ability to hold a safe place for you to heal and transform you and your life into something even greater than you can imagine. And, at the same time, she provides the structure necessary to ensure success.

Dr. Arellano recognizes that action is necessary to manifest your goals; yet, she also appreciates the fact that so many of us become stuck in "old stuff" that prevents us from moving forward. Dr. Arellano is in a unique position to address the full spectrum of life's challenges -- past, present, and future. She provides restorative psychotherapeutic techniques to help you work through traumas, blocks, or negative life events that are holding you back. In addition, she uses effective life coaching techniques that help you to define and attain goals. And she provides powerful spiritual principles that keep you grounded and centered while you navigate the sometimes rocky terrain of life’s journey.

Dr. Arellano’s primary expertise is in the arena of relationships. She helps couples create healthy and fulfilling relationships by not only addressing challenges with communication, expectations, trust and getting needs met, but by also helping life partners shift core beliefs and emotional knowings that are often at the heart of these challenges in their relationships. Dr. Arellano’s second area of expertise focuses on helping clients heal from Complex or Developmental Trauma by helping them break free from the grips of stubborn core beliefs and emotional knowings that developed from traumatic events and by helping clients reconnect with their inner power so they are able to create fulfilling relationships and lives.
