Olima Yeager

I am a licensed professional counselor with 10 years of experience . At the core of my work is a strong commitment to a person centered methodology.

Realizing the courage it takes to seek mental health support, I approach each person with empathy, cultural humility, and a genuine curiosity about their life experience.

I am skilled at building therapeutic rapport and fostering trust, which allows an individual to openly engage in a treatment process. My practice is designed to meet each individual’s unique needs, strength, and goals. I value collaboration and actively involve the individual during therapy so as to foster a meaningful process.

Having a different, cultural background, being born and raised in the country of Tajikistan, part of the former Soviet Union, I understand the importance of cultural sensitivity, and through my own personal life experience, am able to provide the necessary support for those in need. I am deeply invested in supporting the individual as they navigate their challenges, build resilience, and move toward improved mental health and quality of life.

.

My approach to therapy depends on each individual's unique needs, and is determined during the course of therapy. The primary objective of therapy is for each individual to feel safe, accepted, and encouraged, and this arises from my non-judgmental and supportive approach utilized during the entire course of therapy.

The aim of any applied therapeutic approach is for the individual to fill whole again with an increased sense of confidence and contentment. My therapy sessions value collaboration while allowing for the autonomy of each and every individual.

My first session is the Diagnostic Assessment. During this session, the client is informed about confidentiality, its limits, and the treatment process. Clients are given an opportunity to ask any questions, share their related life stories, and describe their treatment goal(s.)
