Mimi Mung’omba - she/her/hers
I have always been an observer of the way that people interact; a witness to both the seen and unseen aspects that impact the ways we seek comfort, connection, healing, and the converse - the things we do to keep ourselves from being known. I believe this ability is an amalgamation of natural ability, my training, as well as life experiences. I know first hand that the places we come from and the hurts we have experienced can prime so much of the way we see ourselves, the way we see the world, what we believe we are worthy of and how we respond in relationship and in life.
So much of what I hope to offer my clients is reflective of a journey I continue to be on myself. A journey that has been a continual process of unpacking perceived and imposed beliefs, labels, restrictions and constrictions, while simultaneously honoring why they exist in the first place. My hope for my clients is that through vulnerable and honest process there will be space to emerge in authenticity, and in fuller access of yourself and your true nature. I hope to stand with you at the intersection of change, offering support and safe witness.
I was born in and spent twelve years in Zambia before moving to Atlanta, GA. I am immensely proud of where I come from and am in a continual process of personally decolonizing my mind, heart and body and leaning into and cultivating a deeper connection to the essence of my own roots and truest self.
I am currently making my home in the Kingdom of Hawai’i. Wherever I make my home, I hope to embody an ethical, responsible, and reverent way of being that upholds the dignity of the land and its people.

I am comfortable working with a variety of presenting issues, but my areas of focus and greatest passion include:

Single Incident Trauma (ex. physical or sexual assault, sudden loss, natural disasters, accidents, witnessing violence)
