I’m Hélène Stelian, LPC, NCC, MBA.

I created this course during my previous work as a midlife coach, when I focused on helping women navigate personal growth, reinvention, and meaningful next chapters.

Since then, I’ve embarked on a new chapter of my own. I returned to graduate school and am now a Licensed Professional Counselor and psychotherapist in Illinois, working with adults and couples at Skylight Counseling Center.

I’ve kept these courses freely available because I believe they continue to offer useful opportunities for reflection, learning, and growth.
