our mission
At Full Circle Wellness & Counseling, our mission is to empower individuals to break free from past narratives and embrace their authentic selves. We are committed to providing holistic wellness support through evidence-based therapeutic methods, addressing the unique, layered elements that shape each person’s identity. By creating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued, we facilitate the exploration of intergenerational patterns and the cultivation of inner strength. Our goal is to help clients build meaningful connections, discover their voices, and navigate life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.
I’m Desire’e, the founder of Full Circle Wellness & Counseling, and my journey to creating this practice is deeply rooted in my own personal experiences and transformation.
Growing up in a blended interracial family, I faced the challenges of navigating different dynamics and often felt silenced in a world that did not value my voice. This led me to struggle with depression, anxiety, and bullying, which only reinforced my need for cultivating my voice through the power of storytelling. I know firsthand the impact of how not having a voice can lead to the struggle to find authenticity and belonging.
My journey towards becoming a therapist began with my own personal transformation. A pivotal moment for me was during a speech at a Martin Luther King assembly in high school, where in sharing my story and embracing my authenticity, I discovered the strength in my voice and the ability to empower others. This moment sparked my passion for helping others dismantle past narratives and embrace their authentic selves.
I believe that therapy is a higher calling for me, guided by my faith and the belief that everyone deserves to be heard and supported. I understand that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, and I value the unique journey of each individual. My approach is rooted in transparency, collaboration, and empowerment. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients can feel safe to explore their stories, find their voice, and take up space in their lives authentically.
My approach to therapy includes a transgenerational framework, which has impacted my work by compassionately navigating multiple perspectives present in the family system.
I utilize various therapeutic interventions in sessions, such as reauthoring clients' narratives, mindfulness exercises, and expressive arts exercises.
I have extensive experience working with clients affected by anxiety, depression, and complex trauma.
A majority of my work focuses on BIPOC populations, teens, individuals, and families, ensuring accessible mental health services for all.
