Getting to know Octavia Phoenix
Taking the first step in contacting a mental health professional can be very hard and scary. As a Black and Hispanic Woman, I know how much harder that step can be as a person of color. Everyone deserves a warm and safe space to be able to tell their truths, and that is what I aim to provide. My focus If you are looking to start a journey of self-discovery and growth—building skills in mindfulness, assertiveness, emotional regulation, and healthy interdependence so you can live with greater clarity, confidence, and connection, then I am the therapist for you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
I believe that everyone is the author of their life story, and I am here to help you continue that story. I do this through the utilization of Strength-Based, Humanistic, and Mindfulness-Based techniques. Together we can process emotions, traumas, achieve goals, and develop healthy coping skills.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe that therapy should be a space to amplify voices, restore inner peace. I am well-versed in actively listening and creating a space where you feel space to speak your truth

Octavia was a great listener. She allowed me to discuss whatever was top of mind in each session and really explore those ideas. She frequently helped summarize the main points of what I was discussing and offer constructive feedback. I always felt reassured that I was improving towards my goals. Octavia continually reminded me of those goals and helped me recognize the progress I had made. I would not have been able to do that without her. I was skeptical of therapy when I first started but am now confident in its efficacy because of Octavia.

Cordial and professional
December 14, 2022Anthony D.Verified patient
Octavia is one of the best clinicians that I have worked with thus far. When I met with Octavia it was one of the first times that I felt heard, and my feelings and concerns about my issue were validated and addressed. She also gave me a lot of good tips for grounding and coping with my anxiety and stress that I know will be useful going forward. I know a lot of people who are hesitant to start therapy, but it is because of clinicians like Octavia that more people who take the first step to start, will actually pull through. I would not be able to make it through without Octavia's help and support, and I am grateful for having her in my corner as I continue to grieve and process.
