MEET The founder

Hello friend

I’m Samantha Stefaniak. While I’m trained and licensed as a mental health counselor, I’ve found God calling me to a slightly different path – one that helps Catholic women heal inner wounds and overcome obstacles preventing personal growth – outside of traditional talk therapy.

I strongly believe ALL of us can learn and implement strategies in our daily lives to be our own self-healers and problem-solvers, guided by the Holy Spirit and proven, effective mental health strategies.

Of course, there are times we absolutely need therapy to overcome our mental health struggles, but I believe for many of us, we are our own best therapist when we’re equipped with the necessary tools and resources. We also need a community of other women who understand a similar experience. We feel alone in our struggles, but we’re not.

My prayer is that Rooted Soul, Grounded Mind provides you with self-guided resources that truly help you heal inner wounds and overcome difficulties, aligned with Christ, while also immersing you in a supportive community of other Catholic women who want to do the same.
