Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
For three decades, I’ve dedicated my practice to “Healing the Helper.” As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and certified member of the Academy of Clinical Social Workers, I specialize in supporting those who consistently care for others—whether you’re a parent, healthcare professional, teacher, social worker, first responder, or community organizer. If you’ve spent years nurturing others while putting your own needs aside, I’m here to help you restore balance and rediscover your own wellbeing.
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe in creating a warm, collaborative partnership where we focus on solutions rather than dwelling exclusively on problems. By blending interpersonal therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques, we’ll address both relationship patterns and thought processes that may be contributing to burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, or depression. Together, we’ll build on your existing strengths while developing practical strategies for sustainable self-care and boundary setting.
Your Healing Journey
Our work together will be purposeful and hopeful. I’ll help you transform the exhaustion of constant giving into renewed energy, move beyond limiting beliefs toward confidence, and strengthen your important relationships. I understand the unique challenges faced by those in helping roles and offer a supportive space where you can finally prioritize your own needs without guilt. Small steps forward will be celebrated as we create a sustainable path where you can continue supporting others without sacrificing yourself.
What to Expect in Sessions
In our online sessions, you’ll find a respectful environment where your wisdom and experiences are valued. I won’t position myself as an authority with all the answers—instead, I’ll be a compassionate guide helping you uncover your own solutions. We’ll focus on practical tools you can immediately implement to establish healthier boundaries, nurture meaningful connections, and rediscover joy in both your personal and professional life. Your growth and healing are my priorities, and I’m committed to helping you create lasting positive change.

For thirty years Wanda Olugbala has focused her clinical work on what she calls “healing the helper” – providing care and restoration for people who spend their lives supporting others. As a licensed clinical social worker in Michigan (MI LMSW 6801072064) and a certified member of the Academy of Clinical Social Workers, she offers experienced, compassionate support to parents, healthcare professionals, teachers, social workers, first responders, and community organizers who have prioritized others for too long.
Wanda combines interpersonal therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to address both relationship patterns and thought processes that contribute to burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, or depression. Her approach is collaborative and solution-focused, building on clients’ existing strengths while teaching practical strategies for sustainable self-care and clearer boundary setting.
She works with people facing family conflicts, grief, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, stress, LGBTQ concerns, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping disorders, anger management, career struggles, depression, major life transitions, and ADHD. Wanda emphasizes purposeful, hopeful progress as she helps clients convert the exhaustion of constant giving into renewed energy, move past limiting beliefs, and reinforce important relationships.
In online sessions Wanda creates a respectful environment where clients’ experience and wisdom are acknowledged. Rather than presenting herself as the sole authority, she serves as a compassionate guide who helps clients uncover their own solutions and implement practical tools to nurture meaningful connections, protect personal boundaries, and rediscover joy in both personal and professional life.
Many people wonder whether online therapy really produces meaningful results. For common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, research and practice indicate that remote therapy can be as effective as in-person care for most people.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can connect in the format that suits them best – video sessions, phone conversations, live chat, or in-app messaging – which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and maintain continuity as life changes.
All therapists providing online services are licensed professionals, and if a client feels they need a different fit they may switch to another therapist at any time. Online therapy offers practical access to professional support while allowing people to pursue treatment in a way that aligns with their needs and routines.
