Arlene Pinheiro

Arlene Pinheiro first experienced the power of story as 'healing' for challenging behavior in both her own and other people's children many years ago, when she was a young mother and a preschool educator. Later, a culmination of thirty five years of practice as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Play Therapist and Life Coach, she sustained her interest in family work, parenting skills, as well as child development. She has understood the wisdom of stories as a healing journey, using others as well as her own, as part of her therapeutic treatment for children and adults.
