Name, Pronunciation, etc.
My name is a blend of Eboni and Niña, a meaningful nod to both sides of my family. My mum—the quintessential hippie I’ve mentioned elsewhere—embarked on a bit of a mystical journey to find it; as she tells it, the name appeared to her in a dream.
Eboniña flows with a soft rhythm, blending the familiar "Eboni" with a dash of Spanish flair. You can pronounce it as eh-boh-NEE-nyah.
To break it down:
-
eh: Like the “ea” in head
-
boh: Like a bow
-
nee: Like your knee
-
nyah: Think of the “ny” sound from canyon or onion, with the final "ah" sound like "father."
When you bring those sounds together, you get the natural rhythm of Eboniña.
-
There is absolutely no structural difference in who I am, but there is a deeply intentional story behind the spelling. On my primary web layouts and private therapeutic spaces, you will see it written as Eboniña, honoring the soft, melodic rhythm of its origin. However, because digital search engines and online medical directories are often built on rigid, neurotypical code that struggles to recognize special characters, I occasionally list it as Ebonina simply to ensure that clients navigating a flare or seeking urgent care can easily find me without any digital roadblocks.

The name EOnWellness was born out of a deep conversation with a friend about what I truly want to share with the world. Growing up, I was taught to see people holistically—like a grand masterpiece where everything is connected.
Wellness isn’t a final destination; it’s an ongoing, infinite journey. We talked about how mental and physical health are so intertwined, and how empowering it is to take charge of our health through knowledge and lifestyle changes. My friend pointed out that I see wellness as this eternal quest of nurturing and "leveling up" your life. Since he calls me “E,” we put it all together and EOnWellness was born! It’s a clever nod to my name, Eboniña (you'll often find me online as Ebonina), and the belief that our growth is forever.
These three words are more than just a motto; they are the gold that courses through the nooks and crannies of every session, intertwining with your story to mend and strengthen the pieces. They represent the natural rhythm of our work together.
embark .
This is the moment you decide to face yourself and stop looking away. It requires an immense amount of strength to be vulnerable enough to venture into those areas—the cracks and crevices—you may have shied away from to stay safe. Starting therapy, especially when navigating the "invisible" weight of trauma, is a significant beginning. It’s about choosing to look at those parts with courage rather than rushing toward a destination.
embrace .
This is the practice of accepting and celebrating all parts of yourself, including the spaces you may have hidden away. It’s about welcoming your feelings and experiences without judgment within a supportive cushion. We don't just embrace emotions; we nurture your whole being—your body’s needs, your roots, and your day-to-day reality.
evolve .
This is the transformation that happens when you find your own healthy rhythm. It isn't about achieving a "factory-made" or idealized perfection; it’s about mending the pieces of your life with golden threads of insight. Like the art of Kintsugi, you evolve by honoring your scars and history, emerging as a version of yourself that you extend grace to, resulting in you being more resilient, authentic, and whole.
General Therapy
Reaching out is a significant moment of facing yourself, and I want the path forward to feel as clear and supportive as possible. Our shared journey begins with a low pressure, fifteen minute consultation call where we can chat about your day to day reality and see how we align. Whether you are seeking a secure sanctuary for your child, your teen, or yourself, our work is a collaborative partnership tailored entirely to your unique life.
-
For Children and Teens: I provide a gentle, developmentally attuned space where young people aged 6 to 17 can explore their world at their own pace. We focus on untangling the unique pressures they face, helping them find a sustainable flow early on while providing creative advocacy for their growing nervous systems.
-
For Adults: This is your private time to stop performing and start feeling comfortable in the skin your in. Together, we will venture into the "cracks and crevices" of your story with grace, completely leaving behind rigid clinical checklists and mending old wounds with golden threads of insight.
Navigating the Path to Support
Choosing a therapist can feel like a lot to hold. To help make this process easier for your nervous system, I’ve provided a Step-by-Step Guide to choosing a provider and a Beginner’s Guide to Therapy. Think of these as a supportive cushion—tools to help you know exactly what to expect so you can arrive at your first session feeling grounded and seen.
When you’re ready to stop looking away and start your journey, I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.

Your absolute right to privacy & therapist-client confidentiality is a sacred boundary. Let’s talk about what happens if we accidentally bump into each other out in the real world (like at a coffee shop, a grocery store, or a local spot).
To fully protect your privacy, I will always take my cue entirely from you. If you choose to look away, ignore me, or simply pass by, I will completely mirror your space & respect your privacy without taking it personally. If you choose to say hello, I will smile & greet you warmly as a friendly peer, but I will never be the one to disclose how we know one another or initiate a conversation about our therapeutic work. You are always entirely free to share or introduce me however you feel comfortable, but I will protect your confidentiality from my end by omitting any specific, identifiable details about our bookings, sessions, or relationship out in a public setting.
It is incredibly common to feel hesitant, especially if you have spent your entire life overextending your energy and wearing heavy protective armor just to survive a rigid world. Needing support is never a sign that you are failing, it is a brave acknowledgment of your human limitations. It takes immense strength to drop the performance of being perpetually strong and give yourself permission to finally unbrace in a space where you are fully believed.
While having supportive friends and family is invaluable, our relationship is uniquely designed to be a completely neutral, one sided sanctuary focused entirely on you. Your friends and family are naturally intertwined with your daily life, which can sometimes make it hard to share things without worrying about their reactions or protecting their feelings. In this room, you do not have be a caretaker to my emotional self, translate your identity, or mask your fatigue. It is a locked vault where your stories are held with zero judgment and absolute privacy.
Because healing is a deeply individual and non linear journey, there is no factory made timeline or rigid checklist for your growth. Some clients find the short term support they need within a few months of gentle regulation tools, while others utilize this space as a long term, sustainable sanctuary to navigate ongoing systemic challenges and chronic illness life integration. We will continually check in together to ensure our pacing always aligns with your present capacity and goals.
Choosing a therapist is a significant moment of facing yourself, and finding a trusted professional to walk alongside you is essential for your healing. It is less about a perfect match and far more about finding a supportive cushion, a secure sanctuary where you feel truly seen, respected, and safe enough to completely stop masking. I encourage you to explore my About Me and Specialties pages to get a genuine feel for my story and see how I weave my lived experience into my practice. To help you decide, a strong therapeutic alliance is built entirely on how safe and validated your nervous system feels in my presence.
To support you in this exploration, I offer a free twenty minute consultation call. This is a low pressure, welcoming space for us to connect, share the day to day reality of what you are looking for, and see if my integrative techniques feel like a natural rhythm for your mind and body. You can easily evaluate our connection during this chat by noticing whether you feel fully believed and comfortable showing up exactly as you are, without any force or artificial performance of clarity.
If it feels like we can build a strong, collaborative partnership, we will move forward together at a pace that honors you. If it feels like another path might serve your system better, I am more than happy to help you find other trustworthy, explicitly affirming resources. My absolute priority is ensuring you find the safe sanctuary you deserve, whether that is with me or another professional, because your well being remains the core focus of this journey.
I always welcome your curiosity and believe that clear communication is the foundation of a trusted collaborative therapeutic relationship. If you have any additional questions about session logistics, specialized care formats, or out of office accommodations, please reach out to me through the secure contact form so we can look at your needs together.
Rates, Insurance, & Cancellation
I believe in being entirely transparent about the financial investment in your well-being so you can feel completely grounded as we begin our collaboration. My rates directly reflect my specialized clinical training, systemic LMFT background, lived experience, and an unwavering commitment to providing a secure, deeply supportive space for the diverse communities I serve.
Individual Therapy for Adults
$300 per 50-minute session
This includes specialized, deeply protective care for adult trauma reclamation, ADHD support, sex worker and kink-affirming therapy, and complex chronic illness navigation. Our work together intentionally shifts the focus away from simply trying to manage or survive heavy symptoms—such as post-traumatic stress, disordered eating, or non-suicidal self-injury and self-harm—and instead focuses on gently rebuilding your whole life, personal agency, and core identity. We honor your struggles as intelligent protective responses rather than personal flaws, helping you expand your capacity beyond the rigid limitations imposed by your past.
Individual Therapy for Children & Teens
$325 per 50-minute session
This rate honors the advanced clinical scope and extensive creative preparation required to hold a safe space for youth, including tailored somatic and kinetic tools, and regular brief email check-ins. Every young person is a unique universe. I provide an unconditionally safe space for kids and teens to unmask, quiet their inner critic, and build tools to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. We focus on navigating the layers of growing up today: from handling trauma, anxiety, and chronic illness, to managing emotional dysregulation, building peer friendships, and reframing stressful social situations.
Because healing doesn't happen in a vacuum, I collaborate closely with you to share strategies that reinforce these new coping skills at home. If you ever need a dedicated, extensive 50-minute parent call to deeply unpack family dynamics separate from your child's time, these are scheduled and billed as a full session. You do not have to navigate these parenting years alone, and you deserve your own dedicated time to feel fully supported.
Couple, Partnership, Multi-Partner, and Family Systems
$350 per 50-minute session
This rate reflects the advanced complexity of holding space for multiple moving pieces and individual nervous systems simultaneously. It includes specialized care for expansive intimacy therapy, monogamous relationships, polyamory and consensual non-monogamy structures, and kink dynamics. Our collective work together honors the reality that when unprocessed individual trauma, anxiety, and grief show up, they naturally ripple through your shared connections. Together, we will create a supportive cushion to gently untangle my stuff, your stuff, and the stuff we make together. We will quiet the outside noise, lay down the pressure to perform for each other, and rebuild a shared foundation of vulnerability. We focus on helping you deconstruct rigid, exhausting communication loops so your entire unit can evolve toward a healthier, more sustainable rhythm.
I truly understand that financial stress can be a significant hurdle when seeking support, and I am dedicated to making therapy accessible, especially for the communities I serve who often face systemic barriers.
Reduced-Fee Spots Yes, I offer a limited number of reduced-fee sliding scale spots in my practice where we can adjust the investment based on your current day-to-day reality or income baseline. If you feel we are a good alignment but are concerned about the cost, please reach out so we can discuss what might be possible within my current open capacity.
Trusted Referrals If my sliding scale spots are currently full, I am more than happy to help connect you with other trustworthy, explicitly affirming resources. You do not have to navigate this financial maze alone, and I am right here to support you in finding a path forward that feels entirely sustainable and ease-filled for your life.
Yes, absolutely. I am proud to accept vouchers from the Loveland Foundation Therapy Fund. I recognize that the cost of care can often feel like a barrier, and I am dedicated to keeping a portion of my practice specifically open for recipients of this fund.
Significant Financial Support These vouchers provide essential financial assistance to cover session fees for Black women and non-binary individuals.
The Next Steps If you have received vouchers and feel we may be a good alignment, please reach out so we can discuss the next steps in our collaboration. My goal is to ensure you have a supportive cushion where you can focus entirely on your healing, reclamation, and growth without the heavy weight of financial stress. I am right here to help you navigate this process so you can step into the affirming care you deserve.
I operate as an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. Choosing not to take insurance is an intentional decision I have made to protect the absolute integrity and privacy of our work together.
Protecting Your Privacy When insurance companies are involved, they often require a formal mental health diagnosis and can dictate the number of sessions or the type of therapy you receive. I firmly believe that you should be the one to decide the pace and depth of your own healing journey, not an outside organization.
Tailored to Your Nervous System By working outside of the insurance system, we can focus entirely on your day-to-day reality and your unique needs without outside restrictions. This keeps your records completely private and ensures that every session is tailored to your unique system, rather than a rigid corporate checklist.
Reimbursement Options While I am out-of-network, your insurance plan may still offer reimbursement for our sessions. I am happy to provide you with a monthly statement called a superbill that you can submit to your insurance company. I always recommend calling the number on the back of your card to ask about out-of-network behavioral health benefits so you can understand your coverage. Your well-being is my top priority, and I am here to help make this process as smooth as possible for you.
I completely understand that living with complex chronic illnesses and neurodivergence means your daily baseline energy spoons and physical health can be highly unpredictable. To keep my practice sustainable and hold space for everyone who needs it, I require at least 48 hours' notice for all cancellations or schedule shifts so I can open that slot for others.
If an unexpected flare or an acute symptom emergency happens closer to our appointment time, we will work side-by-side to pivot our session format. We can easily switch to a low-stimulation phone call, an off-camera check-in, or a flexible, text-based chat to fully honor what your body needs today.
However, if you are completely unable to attend and we cannot find a virtual format that works for your system, the full session fee will still apply. I truly appreciate your understanding in helping me maintain a grounded, sustainable, and consistent space for our shared work together.
