What's your business, and who are your customers?
At Omi Wellness & Counseling, we're a streamline of services to our client's well-being. Clients are assisted with psychoeducation, tools, and skills to transform and make therapeutic lifestyle changes for their overall success in life. Wherever you are along your journey, we can assist in navigating treatment toward a determined point of change. Variety and creativity are valued in the treatment of all clients. At OWC, we help adults who struggle with depressive symptoms related to anxiety-igniting thoughts, poor stress management, life transitions, unresolved trauma, grief/loss, and mood disorders related to drug/substance abuse so they can find more joy in life. For groups, we facilitate psychotherapy support and psycho-educational groups for teenage through geriatric ages.
Tell us about yourself
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Katy, Texas, who provides Psychotherapy Services for adults (18+) and couples. I specialize in Wellness-Oriented and Trauma-Informed Care via an Integrative Approach of Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions (CBT and Mindfulness-based CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Wellness Consulting. I am motivated by my clients who show up to work on themselves and entrust me to support them on their journeys.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is going into full-time entrepreneurship in our first year and sustaining my vision, motivation, and most importantly, mental health!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that come along with being a business owner is the balance of life roles. Specifically, as a mental health professional, wanting to help not only others but also help myself.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- The top 3 tips I would give anyone is to lean into your existing support systems. You shouldn't grow alone.
- Secondly, be patient with the process. It ebbs and flows, but trust your vision will arrive and be ready for it.
- Lastly, have fun! Meaning being yourself, accepting mistakes, looking at failure as an opportunity to revise, and always being open to learning.
