Sthefanny Hincapie Agudelo
Art Therapist
​
I was born in Cali, Colombia ,but grew up in Alabama since I was 6 years old. I had always taken an interest in art and knew that I also had a desire to help others. When I asked my parents what was a good job to help others they responded "doctor".
​
I then became part of the medical academy in my high school and was fascinated by the psychiatric chapter. It wasn't until my 2nd semester of my sophomore year that I learned of a way I could combine my interest in both Psychology and Art into a profession. I got my Masters in Counseling with a focus in Art Therapy from Adler University in Chicago.
​
When I moved back to Alabama, I met Fanicy who was my supervisor for the Expressive Arts Therapy position at YWCA. I later joined the Peace Corps and served some time in Peru.
​
When I came back from Peru, Fanicy asked me to join her own therapeutic practice at eMotion Therapy, which has been a true blessing! It has given me a way to provide therapy to others virtually which is extremely helpful to those that transportation is hard to come by or have time restraints.
​
I have also been given the opportunity to serve the hispanic population in Alabama which is often underserved and Spanish counseling services are hard to come by. I love what I do and am proud to be a part of such a great team of people giving back to the community.
Saderia D. Morman
Transformational Life Coach
​
My goal as a Transformational Life Coach is to help trailblazers to discover new patterns of clarity and purpose to shift mindsets for greater impact and success for themselves and their circle of influence.
​
In December 2013, I literally jumped out of my safety net and comfort zone to start the journey of trying to find clarity in my purpose and calling. The only thing that I knew for certain was that I could not continue on the path of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual stagnation.
​
The idea that I had for January 2014 fell apart because I did not have any guidance or a plan in place. It was overwhelming and draining to say the least. My confidence and self-esteem took a hit. I knew that I had the skills, talents, and experience to move forward. I just did not have the drive to move.
After much prayer and counsel, I started to shift my mindset and create a plan. Bit by bit, things started to come together.
​
From January 2014 until today, God has afforded me the opportunities to be the 1st African American Director of a Disaster Relief Nonprofit, the 1st African American Executive Director of a Moderate Level Treatment Facility for girls and the 2nd African-American and 1st African-American female Juvenile Probation Officer in our county.
​
Each of these organizations have been in existence for almost 50 years. This all started with a desire and hunger to shift my mindset, create a plan for action and be open to opportunities that presented themselves. And guess what? These things can happen for you.
​
Saderia is a certified Trauma-Informed Transformational Master Life Coach who specializes in life purpose and goal success.
