Aleta Hunt

I started my career in social work, completing 20 years at one agency and 5 years at another in various positions. During my first tenure, I helped implement and structure a program for teens in care because we were aware that the majority of them would not be returning home to their parents and would need life skills and life enrichment. At my second agency, my position allowed me to do something similar but with foster parents, not just the children, so we were able to implement a better relationship program with our foster parents which helped them deal with the processes of being a foster parent and having to manage daily life with someone other than their biological child. My main area of expertise is dealing with people as they go through what I call shifts in their lives - helping them navigate that based upon where they are and how they use their coping skills. The shift doesn't mean a bad shift, it could be a good shift, something that's positive in their life, not just negativity. It speaks to the authenticity and the resilience of an individual. On a daily basis, I invite people into a space where we speak positivity or put out things to help one another. I encourage us to gather in this space and share experiences so that others understand that they're not alone. I also attend to an individual with her personal physical needs and help her deal with what she's going through as an elder adult. Then I work with other clientele in the psychological process of acquiring personal growth, whether it be through financial growth, spiritual growth, or inner peace growth. I am also a professional realtor and work alongside non-profit organizations.
