About Felicia

Felicia Omrow is a good listener who takes her time getting to know her clients. If you are new to therapy or feel apprehensive about speaking to a therapist, she will address all of your questions and thoroughly explain the process. She understands the importance of building a sense of trust and comfort before delving into your personal life with someone new, and she'll put you at ease before designing a treatment plan specifically for you. If you are motivated to make a difference in your life, she will help you get there! 

Working with various modalities and techniques, Felicia will help you engage in a healing process that is just right for you. Here are some of the issues she commonly addresses:

  • Depression. If you are feeling sad, depressed, or otherwise unsupported, Felicia will take the time to help you talk through your feelings to get to the bottom of what’s bothering you.

  • Anxiety. You might be feeling overwhelmed to the point where you’re unable to function properly on a day-to-day basis. If your anxiety is preventing you from managing your regular activities, Felicia can help you reframe your perspective to make your life feel more manageable and rewarding. 

  • Performance pressure. Many of Felicia’s clients work in creative or tech-driven fields, and she helps them navigate the demands of the digital and art worlds.

  • Habitual responses to stress. Perhaps you’ve developed bad habits that are no longer serving you. Felicia can help you unlearn unhelpful behaviors to form better coping mechanisms that will ease your burdens and help you feel calmer and more relaxed.

  • Relationship issues. If you tend to catastrophize or otherwise see your situation through a negative lens, Felicia can help you develop a healthier perspective that enables you to more easily work through issues with your partner.

  • Immigrant pressures. If you come from an immigrant family, you may be feeling generational pressure to perform at a high level in a demanding field. Or perhaps you are navigating the burden of supporting family members living abroad. As a first generation Guyanese American, Felicia understands this experience and can help you work through the related stress and emotional fallout.

  • Chronic or serious health issues. If you are dealing with a chronic medical condition or a life transition related to your physical health, Felicia can guide you through the complicated emotional terrain to feel more empowered in dealing with your situation.

  • Working with alternative modalities. If you are currently working with earth or plant medicines, Felicia can help facilitate a deeper understanding of harnessing their power and effectiveness.

  • Grief and loss. If you are dealing with the loss of a loved one, or even the challenges related to aging parents, Felicia can help you develop coping mechanisms to manage your grief and ongoing emotional fallout.

If you see therapy as an active process and are ready to show up and do the work, then building a therapeutic alliance with Felicia will be a supportive and productive experience.

What my clients have to say…

  • Felicia is extremely personable and very easy to talk to. You can tell that she cares and that she is present with you. Our conversation felt constructive and we made a plan by the end of session of what I need to work on. -A.A.

  • "I highly recommend Felicia. She is warm, compassionate and made me feel like safe to share some difficult struggles I've been having. I feel like she really understood me from day 1. Her feedback has been very helpful in overcoming what I came to therapy for." -E.C.

  • “I can't say enough good things about Felicia. I've been to other therapists in the past who I didn't feel ever truly "got" me. But with Felicia I feel seen and understood. When I tell her what's been going on with me, I can tell she truly cares, which I haven't always felt with previous therapists. My symptoms have improved and I'm feeling stronger and more confident than ever before." -E.S.
