About
We all need support ... as we stumble towards the light. I write from my heart & shares it with anyone receiving.
Janis Small Omide (oh-me-day) is
j-so AND Coach OhMeDay
​
OhMeDay retired from "traditional" work, April 2021. She has left her office, but not her desk. OhMeDay knows that she was "called" into the profession that she is retiring from--and "believes" that she is being called to what she is currently doing--writing from her heart, sharing her writings via her podcast and websites. This is a labor-of-love for OhMeDay--she knows that ALL of her needs will be met because she has witnessed the following scripture in her life:
​
John 15:4 -5 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine; ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."
OhMeDay has more than 25 years of experience in providing addiction treatment to individuals of varied ages, genders and cultures.
jOhMeDay has worked as a Substance Abuse (SA) Therapist for doctors/nurses, veterans and enlisted service-members. She has provided SA counseling to individuals with mental illnesses and physical disabilities.
​
OhMeDay has been an Outpatient, Residential and Aftercare SA Counselor; Vocational Rehabilitation SA Counselor; SA Jail Counselor; SA Specialist for ex-offenders, probationers and individuals who received DUIs/DWIs. OhMeDay has also provided Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT) for individuals in opioid treatment programs. OhMeDay has extensive experience in working with justice-involved individuals (to include providing treatment to adults with addictions to Alcohol, Cocaine/Crack, Heroin/Opioids, Marijuana, etc.).
