MEET YOUR THERAPIST

Hello!

CELINA OMENANKITI

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland

ABOUT CELINA

I am a dedicated mental health provider with years of experience supporting individuals across diverse settings, including intensive outpatient programs for substance use and community-based outpatient mental health services. My work has shown me that every person carries a story—and that story matters. Our experiences shape our identity, influence our behaviors, and often reflect deep, valid survival strategies. I honor that truth in my work, approaching each client with empathy and a commitment to understanding how past choices may have once served a meaningful purpose.


Having faced my own mental health challenges, I understand firsthand the feelings of hopelessness, isolation, and defeat. That lived experience fuels my passion for walking alongside others as they navigate their own healing journeys. As both a mental health professional and an individual committed to personal growth, I continue to learn—not only through formal education, but through the shared experiences of those I serve. I strive to show up authentically in every therapeutic space and invite my clients to do the same. My educational background helps me to bring evidence-based tools into the therapeutic atmosphere, so that real, substantial change can be seen. I love to learn, because in learning I am able to grow in knowledge and the more I know, the more I can help those in need. 


When I am not serving my clients, I enjoy traveling to new cities and countries!
