This is where your story stops being something that happened to you — and becomes something you author on purpose.

 


What Is an Intention Strategist?

 

There is no shortage of life coaches, wellness influencers, and reinvention experts online. Most mean well. Few have the clinical training, the lived experience, or the structured framework to guide what they're promising.


An Intention Strategist is something different.

It is the intersection of clinical insight, personal authority, and practical strategy — grounded in the belief that identity is not fixed, and that deliberate, meaningful change is not only possible, it is learnable.


As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over two decades of work in mental health, housing stability, and community leadership, I bring clinical rigor to what others call "mindset work." My methodology is not inspiration. It is architecture.

This work is for you if:

 

  • You've done the therapy, the journaling, the personal development work — and something still feels misaligned
  • You're in a season of transition: career, identity, relationships, or all three at once
  • You're a woman 40+ who is done living by default and ready to live by design
  • You're a helping professional — case manager, therapist, social worker — who is deeply committed to others but quietly running on empty
  • You've survived something significant, and now you're asking: What do I actually want my life to look like?

There is a difference between someone who tells you to live intentionally and someone who can show you exactly how.

About Charlene

 I am an Educator and Intention Strategist, licensed therapist, and the author of One Daughter of Two Mothers.


My work is shaped by both professional experience and lived reality, spanning mental health, housing stability, and community-based leadership.


I don’t believe identity is fixed.


I believe it can be examined, redefined, and intentionally rebuilt.


Veritable Roots was created to bring structure, language, and direction to that process, for both individuals, organizations, and the professionals who support them.
