HOLISTIC COUNSELING FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS AND
YOUNG ADULTS
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
Holistic Therapy and Counseling for College Students and Young Adult
I am Shana Bloom, LMHC, a Holistic Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Rhode Island and Telehealth Licensed in Florida, specializing in supporting individuals who are navigating the journey of adulthood.
It is common to experience feelings of anxiety, stress, or uncertainty when beginning a new path. These transitions — from high school to college, college to career, or building independence in early adulthood — can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time. Whether you are starting your first “real job,” reshaping friendships or relationships, or redefining what success means, life presents endless decisions and possibilities.
While life does not come with a GPS, I believe there are always “breadcrumbs” of insight along the way — gentle signs that help you find your next right step. These breadcrumbs can offer clarity, calm, and confidence, often transforming uncertainty into meaningful growth.
With empathy, compassion, and a touch of humor, I integrate modalities including Gestalt Therapy, Hakomi, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to offer holistic therapy and telehealth counseling that meets you where you are. My work combines warmth and practicality to help you uncover your own direction and feel more grounded in daily life.
For the past two decades, I have supported high school students, college students, and young adults as they move through major transitions — academic, personal, and professional. I believe everyone can find their own authentic rhythm in adulthood, building resilience, confidence, and purpose along the way.
If you are seeking holistic counseling that blends self-awareness with real-world strategies, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can explore a creative and mindful approach to therapy that supports your emotional well-being.
