Trauma-Informed, Holistic, and Inclusive Mental Health Care
Accepting new clients in DC, MD, VA, and FL
At Embracing Wellness, I offer a compassionate, affirming space where you can lay down the weight of survival mode, high achievement, overfunctioning, and hyper-independence, and show up as your full, authentic self. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, life transitions, relational challenges, and emotional overwhelm. Our services are especially affirming for BIPOC clients, LGBTQIA+ clients, first-generation individuals, and the high functioning professionals, caretakers, or both. Together, we will create an individualized, holistic, wellness plan that honors your identity, personal history, and the systems and environments shaping your lived experience. Through therapy, somatic practices, breathwork, and supportive between-session tools, we will focus on helping you reconnect with yourself and move toward a life rooted in rest, healing, and joy.
I'm glad you're here 🌷

Testimonials
Swipe to read a few reflections from clients and colleagues.
It feels amazing to finally speak with someone who looks like me and truly understands my cultural background and lived experiences. From the very first session, I felt safe, seen, and genuinely supported. She is warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She listens without judgment, asks thoughtful questions, and helps me work through things in a way that feels empowering instead of overwhelming. I appreciate her professionalism, her compassion, and the way she creates a space where I can be completely honest.
Felicia is one of my favorite therapist to refer to! She is competent, gracious, and effective. Clients love her, and she is reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommended!
This is a very affirming practice and therapist! Very welcoming to all and makes you feel seen and heard. This is extremely important for those in marginalized communities.
Felicia's humanitarian soul and huge heart pair exceedingly well with her clinical expertise. She is a phenomenal therapist that draws upon empathy and her own healing journey to help counsel others. She is a naturally gifted therapist whose practice is informed by social justice and collectivist approaches to healing. She knows that therapeutic professional practices require recognition of the legacies of trauma that stem from global oppression. Felicia is both gifted and a gift to anyone that has the privilege of interacting with her.
