About

Abundance of Hope Counseling is a trauma-informed virtual mental health practice committed to empowering individuals, couples, and families to navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Founded by Chikeitha Owens, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified Bariatric Counselor (CBC), the practice provides culturally competent and client-centered care across multiple states, including Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Vermont, and South Carolina.

With over 15 years of clinical experience, Chikeitha Owens has lead a solo practice and working towards leading a dedicated team of therapists who specialize in a variety of services including trauma therapy, bariatric mental health support, emotional eating, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship issues. Abundance of Hope Counseling is especially known for its pioneering work in trauma-informed bariatric counseling, offering both pre- and post-operative mental health care for individuals undergoing weight loss surgery. The practice integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic therapies, and polyvagal-informed approaches to address the mind-body connection.

Beyond individual therapy, Abundance of Hope Counseling also provides community-based workshops, corporate training on obesity sensitivity and mental health in the workplace, and specialty programs such as Healing from the Inside Out and Heal Out Loud. These programs are designed to support long-term emotional wellness, behavior change, and identity transformation, particularly for those navigating body image and self-worth challenges.

The practice is rooted in a philosophy of holistic healing—supporting clients not only in overcoming their mental health struggles but also in discovering purpose, building resilience, and living abundantly. Services are offered virtually to ensure accessibility and convenience, while maintaining a high standard of professionalism, empathy, and clinical integrity.

As a Christian-based, client-led practice, Abundance of Hope Counseling seeks to restore hope, redefine healing, and create safe spaces for growth and transformation—one session, one story, and one life at a time.
