LCSW, 21 years of experience
Hello, I am Olga. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in various clinical settings. I know that starting therapy is not easy. But neither is living the life of disappointments and regrets. If you feel you are in a dead end, if your job is boring and ungratifying and the relationships are toxic or lack depth and zest, if you struggle with finding your place in this world or even question whether life is worth living, perhaps it is time to examine your life choices and remove the blocks that hold you from finding meaning, happiness, and purpose.
In our first session, I will explain the rationale for the theoretical framework I use and together we will decide if it is a good fit for you.
My goal is to help my clients live their lives to their fullest. I do believe that there is always hope even for people with the most debilitating conditions. I work with a wide variety of adult clients. Many of them suffer from psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia; many struggle with severe depression and anxiety, unstable self-esteem, self-hate, and shame. I am here to offer a space that is free of judgment and criticism, a space where you can develop self-compassion and learn to believe in yourself, a space where you feel safe to be yourself.
Adults and older adults. Clients who are interested in self-exploration.
I was trained psychodynamically in my social work school. I continue to attend multiple trainings and workshops every year that are offered by Smith College and Austen Riggs.
