The experience of being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender in a world that constantly responds to it negatively takes a real toll. The stress doesn't stay in your head. It lives in your body: as anxiety, as hypervigilance, as the weight of constantly managing how you're perceived. Whatever's been making you smaller, that's what we're here for. You don't have to earn your place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/f3faf1ee-2e66-45df-9a53-282e3e11e2c7/unsplash-image-fXkoHG4dYxA.jpg Who We Serve Overview - Family & Caregivers You've been holding everyone together. Who is holding you? Behind almost every person living with severe depression, bipolar, or another serious mental illness, there is someone else holding everything together without training, without acknowledgment, and without a single system designed with them in mind. Nobody checks on you. You are not allowed to fall apart. You stopped asking what you actually need. Your wellbeing is not a luxury. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/4f72a7e6-8754-472c-985b-f71c8d1fec1e/unsplash-image-d0Nt4PRex9g.jpg Who We Serve Overview - Trauma Survivors You're still here. That matters. For survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and complex trauma, there is a chapter the world stops paying attention to. But you're making decisions from fear without realizing it. You don't know who you are when you're not surviving. You don't have to figure out who you're becoming alone. https://www.heldseen.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-06-03 https://www.heldseen.com/about daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/86da5157-3df2-498a-aec7-f737a848a5c8/2026-04-12-23-09-10-227.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/b5ef1343-61d4-45c9-982a-f745b2708976/Yoyce+Geronimo+Presenting+at+National+Conference Meet the Founder Degree: M.A. Clinical & Counseling Psychology Languages: English · Español Featured in: ABC · Univision · Latinx Social Work Presented: Rx and Illicit Drug Summit National Latino Behavioral Health Conference National Conference on Youth Prevention, Treatment and Recovery This work lives where credentials end and real experience begins. https://www.heldseen.com/investment daily 0.75 2026-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Investment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1608066266418-CHQC49XZZNQKNA7TGGP4/20140228_Trade-151_0046.jpg Investment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/6bfe97a2-426c-413e-a156-cdf4daf1a926/2026-04-24-16-39-03-981.jpg https://www.heldseen.com/caregiver daily 0.75 2026-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/1779947132071-P11WW20KSRI4M3QGMVRO/unsplash-image--wjk_SSqCE4.jpg Family and Caregivers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/b74e55af-1146-4f8e-b4c0-2db83ac60f05/unsplash-image-qgzr0k-VYQE.jpg Family and Caregivers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/f3e37c81-e37e-4b12-9944-26a3edab1c60/unsplash-image-izJC1PUjZNc.jpg Family and Caregivers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/b74e55af-1146-4f8e-b4c0-2db83ac60f05/unsplash-image-qgzr0k-VYQE.jpg Family and Caregivers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/1780537392428-7YZJM6NJGNZMNIKP25OY/unsplash-image-eoTvdke70Vw.jpg Family and Caregivers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/1780537559882-JFBZPOLBYJ45I1VKC7ZJ/unsplash-image-EqLXRA41jrA.jpg Family and Caregivers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/11266735-1442-4d2c-9032-7343f695bb2f/unsplash-image-2ooHCo-epdA.jpg Family and Caregivers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/aa3f06e6-11b1-4050-b9da-f82830db2648/Yoyce+Geronimo+Galvan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/5cb4460e-ba69-43d4-8666-bf584bf097c3/55182281195_18757c536c_o%281%29.jpg Family and Caregivers - What changes This work is not about caring less. It's about surviving more The goal is not detachment. You don't want to stop loving the person, you want to stop losing yourself in the process. What shifts in this work is the relationship between their needs and yours. They stop being in competition. ➤ You stay present without disappearing You can be in the room for a crisis, for a hard conversation, for an ordinary Tuesday without losing yourself in it. You learn the difference between being present and being consumed, and how to stay on the right side of that line. ➤ Your grief gets to be grief The ambiguous loss, mourning a person who is still present, grieving a relationship that got replaced by a diagnosis, is named as real loss. You stop carrying it silently, and you stop feeling ashamed of it. That changes how heavy it is. ➤ You take care of yourself without earning it first Rest, connection, space. You stop treating these as rewards you haven't yet deserved. You build a life that has you in it, not just a caregiving role that occasionally pauses. A support structure that holds after our work together ends. ➤ You make a decision for yourself For the first time in years, you make a choice about your life that belongs entirely to you. Not organized around a diagnosis. Not calculated around what might happen. Yours. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/bdda736a-6573-4f68-a646-9cf4b580ff41/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/bdda736a-6573-4f68-a646-9cf4b580ff41/thumbnail Family and Caregivers Private coaching for family members supporting a loved one with serious mental illness: bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression.

But the cost of all this management is higher than anyone around you knows ➤ You have a life that functions. You want more than a life that functions. https://www.heldseen.com/trauma daily 0.75 2026-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/4c79d2aa-49ad-488f-b973-c7146c5aafd1/Yoyce+Geronimo+Galvan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/5ddba7a4-a5ac-460c-a59b-68acd16f09db/55182281195_18757c536c_o%281%29.jpg Trauma Survivors - What you will be able to do after this work: Understand why you respond the way you do in relationships, in decisions, in your body, without that understanding becoming another thing that defines you Learn why your nervous system still responds the way it does, so it stops catching you off guard Rebuild safety, identity, and trust in yourself Make decisions from what you actually want, not from what feels safest Leave knowing who you are now, not in relation to what happened but in relation to where you are going https://www.heldseen.com/speaking daily 0.75 2026-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Speaking & Appearances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Speaking & Appearances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Speaking & Appearances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Speaking & Appearances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Speaking & Appearances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Speaking & Appearances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Speaking & Appearances https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/52f9066c-f8ff-4499-93e2-8a4123116922/55182281195_18757c536c_o%281%29.jpg Speaking & Appearances - Credentials M.A., Clinical & Counseling Psychology. 10+ years in behavioral health systems.

These groups are built for the people carrying those realities, and for the relief of not having to explain themselves from the beginning. Held & Seen Coaching offers intentionally small, structured group coaching designed to create space for honest conversation, practical growth, emotional support, and meaningful connection with people who already understand parts of what you carry. Each cohort is limited to eight participants, runs for twelve weeks, and remains closed once the group begins. https://www.heldseen.com/home daily 1.0 2026-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/1777929057793-G7Q2DX3MJTKLBV1FJJEP/unsplash-image-fXkoHG4dYxA.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/012d5896-58e5-4947-98ca-a4fa7a795a98/2026-05-16-14-56-09-646.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69da57ab81eb79455a52e82f/f067e40f-1975-4009-82ff-b71320c1b58f/2026-04-09-20-57-53-111.jpg Home - What you'll walk away with?
