Author and psycho-therapist Charlette Mikulka.
Newton, N.J. - Newton businesswoman, Charlette (Kerbeykian)
Mikulka, earned recognition in two national book awards this week. A
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she is the author-publisher of the
newly-released Peace in the Heart and Home: A Down-to-Earth Guide to
Creating a Better Life for You and Your Loved Ones.
The book received a Silver Medal from the Independent Publisher Book
Awards in the parenting category. Mikulka's book also won a Bronze
Medal from the Living Now Book Awards in the personal growth category.
Charlette is the daughter of Charles and Virginia Kerbeykian, both
deceased, who attended St. Vartanantz Armenian Apostolic Church in
Ridgefield, New Jersey. She maintains a full-time private psychotherapy
practice in Newton and will be celebrating a forty year relationship
with her husband Joe this June.
They have parented two sons, Michael and Christopher. Born, raised and
educated in Teaneck, Mikulka attended her 40th high school reunion
last October with her classmate and dear friend since fifth grade,
Lisa Torrieri. In a never-anticipated turn-of-events, graphic artist
Torrieri created the cover art work for Peace in the Heart and Home.
According to ForeWord Reviews, "Charlette Mikulka joins the fray of
doctors and other professionals spinning out self-help books but
she rises above the crowd, providing real answers, solutions and
recommendations....The author tackles a huge subject in a concise
way." Rick Hanson, co-founder of the Wellspring Institute for
Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom and author of Buddha's Brain,
calls Peace in the Heart and Home, "A wonderful book that offers
hard-won, useful lessons about inner well-being and outer harmony
that drip with authenticity."
Mikulka says she created Peace in the Heart and Home to be a resource
that would clearly spell out the common denominators of the diverse
problems that plague the average person, couple and family. With
anxiety, depression, addictions, physical dysfunction and marital
strife running rampant, she believes that too many people aren't
thriving. Mikulka observes, "Most people use a "band-aid" approach to
fix their problems. They look for peace in all the wrong places. When
those who suffer are parents, their children breathe in the stress
and pain and inherit the legacy."
Peace in the Heart and Home offers a wealth of explicit, compassionate
and seasoned professional guidance through cutting edge information,
real-life stories, resources, skills and healing methods. Elana Katz,
senior faculty member of the Ackerman Institute for the Family,
calls Peace in the Heart and Home "A one-stop shopping handbook for
life...folksy, straight-talking...a wise and comforting hand." The book
is available as a paperback, e-book and unabridged MP3 audio-book,
read by the author. The audio-book also has bonus tracks of lyrical
music written by Mikulka's composer son, Michael, which reflects the
emotional content of the book.
According to Mikulka, "This is a wonderful time to be alive because
clinicians and their clients are benefitting from the cross-pollination
between science, research, clinical practice and ages-old wisdom
traditions. We are now able to replace futile branch trimming with deep
and powerful natural methods that go right to the roots of personal
and relationship problems. No matter how bad things have gotten,
we all possess healthy human longings and inherent capacities that
can be cultivated so that we feel whole, connected and secure. We
can learn how to heal, feel compassion for our self and others and
feel fully alive."
