We’re living in a highly stressful society striving to balance our personal lives, relationships, family needs and work livelihoods to care for who and what is most important to us. Past trauma can interfere with our daily functioning and create isolation and mental unwellness. We all need support and guidance: good psychotherapy and relationship counseling can be a great benefit! I assess comprehensively, work pragmatically and use a well-developed tool kit! Together we work to help you balance emotions, shift unhelpful beliefs, resolve trauma, deepen forgiveness and forge new pathways to wellness and relationship health!
I offer mindfulness-based, somatic, pragmatic, depth-oriented psychotherapy and intimacy coaching. Soulful intimacy grows by recognizing and shifting core negative beliefs, false identities that limit behavior, communication, and attachment security Together, we ground the grist of daily experiences into valuable insights, practices, and results!
What gets in the way of your living with greater peace, clarity, and vibrancy? Unconscious beliefs, limited perspectives, mindless dysfunctional habits, and chronic defensiveness are patterns that can be compassionately and skillfully identified! Be supported in "shifting your perspective" to make space for greater ease, acceptance and relational wisdom.

Michael S Gelbart
Hosted by
Michael S Gelbart

Ancestor Storytelling Guilds are experiential journeys where we access and express multigenerational lineage memories and wisdom. We practice skills of authentically crafting important stories in new ways. With intentional attunement to ourselves and each other, we tap into innate aspects of our origins. Universal themes emerge revealing our interrelatedness. These ceremonial guilds provide a collective environment for resourcing resilience. We gain new perspectives on old wounds, expand our sense of belonging, and discover new meaning. We deepen our respect for one anothers cultural lineages and traditions. We emember the wholeness of our souls and the blessings of our ancestors.
