Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in mental wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Nakia Linzie-Shavers, LCSW, Founder of Bright Moments Therapy & Consultation Services Inc, located in Berkeley, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice providing mental health services. I assist those needing a safe space to explore their values and beliefs and create new perspectives to navigate life's transitions.

Tell us about yourself

I have a passion for helping others reach their full potential and move beyond limiting beliefs.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Since launching in 2019, I have maintained a robust therapy practice and have impacted many lives for the better. As a social worker, you often don't see the fruit of the seeds you either plant or water, but it's fulfilling to know I'm making a difference one person at a time.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The hardest thing is building a team around you to offload responsibilities that take you away from your passion. You have to wear so many hats and be proficient in areas that are not your expertise.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Believe in your vision.
  2. Surround yourself with like-minded people.
  3. Do it afraid.

Where can people find you and your business?
