Saritha Rothermel
Family & Ambition
BUILD A CREATIVE LIFE YOUR FAMILY CAN THRIVE IN
Your work doesn’t exist in isolation.
It’s part of the life you’re building.
Saritha’s coaching focuses on helping filmmakers think about their lives in a values-forward way. Drawing from her background as a licensed professional counselor with ten years of experience in trauma work with children, adolescents, and families, she helps filmmakers navigate parenthood, identity shifts, and life transitions with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
Her work is grounded in the belief that ambition, creativity, and family life are not mutually exclusive.
Saritha has spent the last decade supporting individuals and families through complex emotional and life challenges.
Through Saritha’s work, and her proximity to the film industry, she has seen how demanding creative careers can place real strain on personal life and relationships. Many filmmakers feel stretched thin, as if they have to choose between being present for their family or pursuing meaningful work.
Saritha’s coaching is built on the belief that there is often a third way. A way of living where creativity and family life can both be supported with intention.
