Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am Nwando Olisa, MSW, LICSW, LCSW-C; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist. I offer a safe, warm, therapeutic, judgement free space for Adults (18+) and Older Adults (65+). My strengths lie with actively listening , client engagement, support, processing your feelings and empowering you to heal and thrive. With the use of Mindfulness, CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Strength Based Therapy, Supportive Therapy, Humanistic/ Client – Centered approaches, we will work on your specific goal(s) with the purpose of arriving at an outcome you desire.
Each client served will be met where they are, with acceptance and empathy. Life happens and we each encounter challenges at one point or another. Negative thoughts and beliefs often control how we think, feel and relate. Over time, our negative emotions and pervasive thinking patterns may become overwhelming and repressed. I serve clients with depression, trauma and abuse, family conflicts, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self -esteem, confidence, and coping with grief and loss.
I believe you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming challenges. I provide culturally competent therapeutic sessions offered weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. We will reflect upon any challenges you may have, including past and present. And as a team, we will get to the root cause, identify your triggers and work collaboratively to develop insight, awareness, coping skills and tools to build your resilience, so you can arrive at answers within yourself. In essence, I’ll support and empower you through your journey.
It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first steps towards change. I look forward to hearing your story and collaborating with you to explore choices, resources and options that will help you make positive and sustainable life changes.
I am generally able to respond to messages within 24 -48 hours. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or have an immediate (emergency) need for support. In crisis situations, please call 911, your local Crisis Center or dial 1- 800-273-TALK (8255) any time day or night. You may also use the new shorter number 988 to speak with someone immediately.

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One key benefit is flexibility – individuals can connect in the way that fits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and continue care from different locations.
Licensed professionals provide online care, and it’s possible to change therapists if someone prefers a different fit. Online therapy can be a practical and effective option for many people seeking support for everyday mental health concerns.
