Rev. Jerome Stefaniak
is a teacher who instructs adults in how to have higher self-esteem, how to discover and live their vision, and how to achieve both outer success and inner tranquility at the same time.

He was also a member of Big Brothers during this period, establishing a relationship with a Little Brother for three-and-a-half years.

In 1985 Jerry began a program of personal development which in 1986 led him into a new career: sharing with others the principles and techniques he had successfully learned to apply in his own life. Since then, he has taught many workshops on personal development both in Texas and Washington. He was a member of the Board of Directors of Unity Church of Clear Lake, functioning as its Youth Education Director.

Stav, (Stavroula) Stefaniak, LCSW, LMFT, is a State licensed  psychotherapist with over 30 years experience in the mental health field.  She is a multifaceted, multitalented and versatile therapist who is able to combine tools and techniques from many avenues  and  tailors her approach according to her clients needs.

 

Stav combines her knowledge of sound psychological principles along with Universal Spiritual and metaphysical principles and is able to tune in quickly and get to the root issues to give insightful and clear guidance to her clients.

 

She is also a Breath Integration Practitioner and uses this technique, when appropriate, to help her clients tap into their unconscious on a deep level so that they can unravel and release suppressed stressful emotions.  These suppressed emotions can keep clients stuck in unconscious self-sabotaging patterns that can be interfering with current functioning and well being.

 

Stav has developed and presented workshops on Anger Management, Forgiveness, Self Esteem and has led groups and Women's  Retreats.

 

She is a contributing coauthor in the metaphysical book  "New Thought" by Mary Mannin Morrissey.

 

She coauthored with her husband Jerry their relationships book "Intimacy in Action-Relationships that feed the Soul"  by Jerry Stefaniak and Stav Stefaniak, MSW.  Together they have taught numerous workshops and groups on Relationships in various parts of the State of TX and have facilitated Couple's Retreats.


Among her professional experiences and trainings she is also an Angel Therapy Practitioner, and received her training through Dr. Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.  Stav has had a personal experience and relationship with her angels who have shown themselves to her and assisted her during critical times in her life.  Those who are interested and want to develop their relationship with their celestial guides, Stav is more than happy to assist them in opening up to that aspect of existence. She does so through Angel readings, (separate from her counseling work.)  Stav had been on the staff of Dr. Doreen Virtue for many years assisting in the trainings that Dr. Virtue was offering.  She is featured in Dr Virtue's book, "Angel Medicine"  when she accompanied Dr Virtue to Greece, Stav's country of origin.
