COUNSELING & COACHING
Navigating the journey of adulthood can be both exciting and messy
from your late teens and twenties into your early thirties.
Shana is passionate and has a gift for working with young adults. She worked with both of my daughters on their college journeys, and I got to see first hand how she interacted with them and how well they responded to her. While each had different needs and the process was anxiety producing at times, Shana helped me see what a gift it was to share this experience with my children.
As a parent, I would highly endorse Shana Bloom to work with anyone who is looking to move from high school to college, or college or into the workforce.

Parent Story
Shana is blessed with passion and dedication towards her students like few others. Both my daughters have worked with her at Mt. Hope High School, and we know firsthand the incredible effect she has on people and programs around her. My older daughter got an opportunity to travel to Iowa with Shana for the XQ+RI program last year, and she came back with so much admiration and respect for her, even though they had only spent two days together.
Through the XQ program, students were able to give direct feedback about what they felt needed to change within the school, and those changes are getting implemented. Similarly, my younger daughter was part of a weekly mentorship program at Raytheon, another one of Shana’s numerous initiatives at Mt. Hope. This experience allowed my daughter, among countless other students, to get their questions answered about the real-world and find someone they trust to help them navigate it.

Bloom2Prosper Counseling, LLC
I am a Holistic Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Rhode Island and Telehealth licensed in Florida, who specializes in supporting individuals who are"navigating the journey of adulthood." It’s common to experience feelings of anxiety while embarking on a new path. It can be both exciting and messy, particularly when you're somewhere between your late teens and early thirties . Whether you're moving from high school to college or a career, securing your first "real job,"or reshaping a social circle or a romantic partnership, life presents a myriad of choices and decisions to make.
And choosing the best decision versus "the right decision"
is personal and therefore is an art, not a science. ❤️
While life doesn't come with a GPS map to guide your way, I believe that there are valuable insights and subtle "breadcrumbs" that can offer guidance and messages as you traverse your unique path. These breadcrumbs can light the road in front of you, providing clarity and direction and frequently turning challenging situations into opportunities for a newfound sense of peace and calm.
With a blend of empathy, compassion and a sprinkle of humor, I bring forth my talents, skills and various modalities of therapeutic training including: Gestalt, Hakomi and Solution Focussed Brief Therapy to provide you with gentle guidance, unwavering support and practical strategies in uncovering those elusive breadcrumbs. For the past two decades, I have had the privilege of working with high school and college students, as well as those entering the real world, and I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity to find their own unique way of adulting.
So, reach out to me via email and together we can explore a fresh and creative approach to nurturing your dreams either in person or virtually.
I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best on your personal journey.❤️
