Carina Oltmann

Life often presents us with significant challenges. Therapy is a space where you don't have to carry these struggles alone.

Whether you're navigating the weight of grief, finding your footing after a devastating loss, living with serious illness or caring for someone who is, or feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, or depression — I want you to know that what you're feeling makes sense. And that healing, even in the hardest circumstances, is possible.

I'm Carina Oltmann, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience supporting people through some of life's most profound and painful moments. My path into this work began in oncology and palliative care — spaces that taught me early on the courage it takes to face uncertainty, to grieve, and to keep going. That foundation shapes everything I do.

In our work together, I'll meet you exactly where you are — without judgment and with compassion and skill. My approach is warm, collaborative, and deeply attuned to your individual experience. I draw upon my training in CBT, mindfulness and meditation, and grief and trauma therapies to move you towards healing and connecting with meaning again.

Clients have told me that they feel lighter and more hopeful even after the first session. I'll spend time getting to know you, listening deeply and without judgment to your story and your experiences. We'll begin to lay the framework for our work together, work that will be collaborative, filled with support and guidance, and focused on helping you to reconnect with meaning, fulfillment and ease.
