Mission, Vision, and Values
Ominira Therapy exists to provide thoughtful, structured behavioral health care that supports adults in moving beyond survival-driven patterns and toward greater clarity, regulation, and agency. Our mission is to offer care that is clinically sound, relationally grounded, and responsive to the realities people are navigating, without reducing human experience to symptoms or labels.
We envision Ominira as a practice where care is delivered with integrity, skill, and respect for complexity. A place where individuals feel supported in addressing the patterns that shape their lives, and where clinicians are trusted to practice with depth, intention, and accountability. As Ominira grows, our vision is to remain rooted in clarity, ethical practice, and accessible care that meets people where they are while honoring what it takes to change.
At Ominira, we value care that is grounded in presence, responsibility, and honesty. We believe meaningful change happens when people are treated as capable participants in their own lives, not as problems to be fixed. Our work centers respect for autonomy, cultural context, and lived experience, while remaining accountable to evidence-based practice and professional standards. We value collaboration over hierarchy, clarity over performance, and steadiness over urgency. Above all, we are committed to offering care that is intentional, humane, and responsive to the full reality of being human.
How did Ominira get its name?
Ominira is a Yoruba word meaning liberation.
The name reflects a core belief at the heart of this work: that many patterns people struggle with are not personal failures, but adaptations shaped by experience, history, and environment. Trauma narrows choice. It teaches the body and mind how to survive. Liberation, in this context, is not about erasing the past, but about restoring agency in the present.
We chose the name Ominira to honor the reality that healing does not happen in isolation from culture, ancestry, or lived experience. Trauma-focused care requires humility, curiosity, and respect for the broader contexts that shape a person’s nervous system, identity, and relationships. Ominira represents a commitment to care that acknowledges these influences while supporting individuals in reclaiming steadiness, voice, and choice over time.
About our founder: Destinie Cleveland
Ominira Therapy was founded by Destinie Cleveland, a clinician whose work is grounded in trauma-focused care, somatic awareness, and an understanding of how lived experience, culture, and history shape mental health.
Destinie’s approach is informed by years of clinical training and practice across complex presentations, including trauma-related conditions, substance use, mood disorders, and relational patterns. Her work is shaped by a belief that effective therapy requires more than symptom management. It requires attention to the body, the nervous system, and the broader contexts that influence how people learn to survive.
Ominira was created as a space for care that is both clinically rigorous and human. Destinie founded the practice with the intention of offering therapy that respects autonomy, honors cultural and personal context, and moves at a pace that supports safety and integration rather than urgency. Her leadership reflects a commitment to ethical practice, thoughtful structure, and care that treats people as capable participants in their own lives.
