When I say “be still,” I mean to cease all movement, per divine direction, and patiently wait to see manifestations unfold in your life—trusting God in spite of what it may look like. Maybe this moment was by choice, or "gifted" to you by some unforeseen circumstance.

Regardless of the manner you found yourself in this season, know that it is for a reason. This is my season. This is me.  

I’m Adena Arceneaux—an educator, therapist, speaker, and writer who is fluid in the fields of child and adolescent development and counseling. Named after my middle name Sophia, Sophia’s Serenity represents an extension of my private practice, where self-care is valued and optimized through the use of therapeutic care and practices.

Born in San Francisco and Bay Area-raised, I now reside in Seattle, Washington, where I am a director of an early childhood education institution and a practicing marriage, couples, and family therapist.
