About Me

Candice Givens Omar, LCSW

Founder and Therapist

Welcome to Pier Soul! My name is Candice Givens Omar and I am excited about the opportunity to be apart of your precious journey. My mission is to cultivate safe spaces for those who are brave enough to explore their thoughts, feelings, and past experiences through therapy.

I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, with more than half of that time dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of  helping professionals. I've had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and economic backgrounds who are facing both internal and external adversity. Whether navigating life transitions; workplace stress; generational trauma; or working through deep shadow work- I'm here to walk alongside you and serve as a guide  through your process. I am also a Certified Clinical Supervisor for LCSWA's in North Carolina.

I pride myself in providing care that is rooted in empathy, honesty, mutual respect, and exploration. I provide holistic and person-centered counseling and subscribe to both traditional and  progressive treatment modalities.  I firmly believe therapy is a collaborative and eclectic process. Together, we will work on identifying your strengths, as well as unearth some areas of improvement that are impacting how you show up in the world.

As for me,  I'm a Carolina girl through and through! I was born and raised in Charleston, SC until my early teens when my family transitioned to Raleigh, NC. My passion for mental health is rooted in my personal experiences with intergenerational trauma and adversity. When not being of service, you can find me on somebody's beach, traveling, or spending time with family. Recently, we've relocated to Southern California; and although we are quite a ways away from my Gullah Geechee roots, I'm of the belief that "Home is Where You Are" !

I look forward to being part of your journey back home to yourself.
