Meet our Counselors
Hi! Welcome to People Bloom! Counselors are people too. We’re not perfect and we don’t pretend to have it all together. However, we’re fellow human beings who know a thing or two about improving mental health. We want to come alongside you to make your life better.
Can we be a good fit for what you’re going through?
