Cera Hansen

Hi, I’m Cera Hansen, My name is spelled uniquely, but  pronounced like “Sarah.”

I’m passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families. I believe that just one supportive adult outside the home —in addition to the forever support and love of parents—can have a lasting impact.  I’d be honored to be that person.

Life brings challenges.  Whether it’s navigating transitions like divorce, separation, marriage, or the birth of a child,  or processing traumatic experiences from the past or present. Sometimes we all just need someone to sit with us, listen without judgment, and walk alongside us.

I’m here to offer a safe, compassionate space where you and/or your child can feel supported, heard, and understood.
