It’s okay to talk
about mental health!

For too long seeking mental health support has been stigmatized as a negative thing to do….

Terry and Mia Williams have recognized and studied various social norms that have hindered generations of families from seeking and sustaining a holistic lifestyle. Combined, Terry and Mia have over 20 years of mental health, public health, and public safety experience to implement when creating interventions to address the barriers communities face while trying to achieve holistic wellness.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Mia has practiced clinical therapy amongst a diverse client list and supported them through anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, anger/resentment, and divorce. Mia specializes in working with adults and adolescents by focusing on the individual needs of the client. Being in the public safety profession for 10 years Mia was exposed to the mental health field, which allowed her to develop a great passion for wanting to help individuals find their way in life.

With over 17 years in public safety and public health professional experience, Terry has had the privilege to engage with various populations of people within different communities. Community exposure and lived experience have allowed him to gather a vast understanding of community-level needs. Through utilizing the Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach, Terry has had the opportunity to support, develop, and implement different strategies for enhancing social cohesion and social capital.

Together, through Health and Wellness Inspired, Terry and Mia strive to advocate healing, strength, and resilience even from the darkest of places mentally. Like the Lotus flower, we believe that we all survive through extreme conditions. That is the goal…to prosper even through tough times. Therapy can mimic the cycle of the lotus flower. Although it comes from murky waters, it rises in the purest, most positive, and calm form. Individuals who seek our support services from the darkest of places have the potential to blossom into someone renewed. Throughout the process of our services, like the lotus flower, individuals can feel a sense of strength, enlightenment, resilience, and rebirth. Our holistic approach embodies health and wellness, from the inside out.
