Mastering the art of processing life while living life.
My Story
My Story: From Adoptee to Coach
​
Hi! I am Chana Bilek, a Personal Relationship Coach and Adoption Expert with a truly unique background: a frum/Orthodox Jewish convert and a Korean Adoptee in reunion with my birth family.
​
My life story is a blend of diverse cultures, deep spirituality, and dedicated academic study, all of which inform my unique approach to helping others master their own life processes.
​
I grew up in Richmond, VA, and received my BS in Psychology from VCU. I further enriched my spiritual life by studying under remarkable spiritual teachers at the Neve Yerushalayim Seminary in Jerusalem. My academic journey continued when I received an MS in Sociology from UNT. This combination of clinical understanding, sociological perspective, and spiritual insight is the bedrock of my coaching philosophy.
​
Alongside my husband, I built a family and established a successful private practice, The Baltimore Therapy Center, right here in Baltimore, MD. (In my practice, I’m often known by my maiden name, Caitlin Hill.)
​
It was through over 10 years of coaching clients, combined with over 3 years of processing my own life as an adoptee in reunion, that my specific niche solidified. My personal, educational, and spiritual lessons have uniquely positioned me as an expert in relationship dynamics and adoption processing.
​
Today, I’m dedicated to sharing my lived experience in new ways. I am actively working on resources and approaches to help others navigate life's complexities as I continue mastering the art of processing life while living life.
​
I look forward to helping you write the next chapter of your story.
