About Ominira
Providing thoughtful outpatient therapy rooted in clinical integrity.
Offering outpatient therapy for adults whose past experiences continue to shape emotional, relational, or behavioral patterns, with care designed to support safety, regulation, and lasting change over time.
Delivering individualized, evidence-based therapy that centers collaboration, autonomy, and lived experience, with attention to how trauma, stress, and adaptation show up in daily life.
Practicing with intention and accountability, integrating established trauma-focused and relational approaches while remaining responsive to the complexity and resilience of real human lives.
We are:
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.
Mission, Vision, and Values
How did Ominira get its name?
Ominira is a Yoruba word meaning freedom or liberation. The name reflects a belief that healing is not about becoming someone new, but about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may have been shaped, protected, or hidden by difficult life experiences.
In Yoruba thought, well being is often understood through connection to self, community, purpose, and balance. This perspective resonates with trauma therapy, which recognizes that our experiences are influenced by the relationships, environments, and systems we move through. Healing involves more than reducing symptoms. It is also about restoring choice, strengthening self trust, and creating greater alignment between how we live and who we are.
At Ominira Therapy, we provide compassionate, trauma informed care that honors the complexity of each person's story. Our goal is to support clients in processing difficult experiences, building resilience, and moving toward a life with greater freedom, clarity, and connection.
This is a space for healing, growth, and reclaiming the freedom to live in a way that feels true to you.
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.
