Dr. Rhonda’s passion is women’s health and enjoys helping restore women to wholeness. In her current practice, she coaches many women from abusive and toxic relationships. As such, she made the decision to go deeper and study the pathology of toxic relationships. This resulted in her training with renowned psychotherapist, Ross Rosenberg, who trained Rhonda on the Human Magnet Syndrome model, and made her the Ohio spokesperson to educate others on this emotionally crippling disorder. Upon understanding that pathology, Dr. Rhonda felt it was necessary to become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and is credentialed in Behavioral Health specializing in addictions.
Her motto is, “I don’t look like what I’ve been through, and I have GOD to thank for that!”
About
The Academy of hope foundation provides education and prevention programs for dysfunctional relationships and Codependency (which are often corelated /intertwined). We also educate family members of those who are suffering from addiction and are at a loss as to how they can help their loved ones. It can be an overwhelming, frightening, and helpless situation that countless families confront each year. Addiction is a misunderstood disease that is frequently stigmatized in a way that other chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease are not. Our team is proud to introduce our first online course. THE CODEPENDENCY CURE: SELF LOVE BREAKTHROUGH! Codependency and addiction are often closely related, and they both often lead to dysfunctional relationships. The Academy of hope foundation is dedicated to changing the negative stories that surround addiction. We know that everyone’s journey to recovery is different, and wholeheartedly believe that every story must start with hope, empathy, and treatment for those who’ve lost their way. We believe that a healthy body cannot operate without a healthy mind and spirit. Our mission is dedicated to building strong alliances, with public and private organizations so that we may interrupt the harmful cycle of drug addiction through the medium of prevention, treatment and recovery programs that improve the lives and families struggling with substance abuse and dysfunctional relationships.
Stay tuned this course is approved for 6.0 CEU’S through the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker and Marriage and Family Therapist Board.
Self-love

Intergenerational Trauma
—sometimes referred to as transgenerational trauma—is a term that is used to describe the impact of a traumatic experience, not only on one generation, but on subsequent generations after the event. Intergenerational trauma is a term that is often not talked about, resulting in a lasting impact on later generations.
Getting to the Root
There is always a root to a problem, and there is a root cause of low self-esteem, but without identifying why or how it got there, we don't have the tools to overcome low self-esteem for good. Knowing what negative thoughts are ingrained in your mind and otherwise identifying where low self-esteem came from will help you to better help yourself. So let's discuss the root cause of your low self-esteem so you can do something about it.
