Our Team

Olga Tokareva, LMSW

I know what it means to start over – to carry more than one story inside you, to build a life while searching for belonging. I bring this lived immigrant experience into the therapy room, creating a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink parts of yourself to be understood.

My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply relational. I believe successful therapy begins with a safe and trusting connection. Whether you’re navigating identity, intimacy, or emotional pain, you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and cultural sensitivity. Together, we’ll work to make sense of what hurts, what’s been unspoken, and what’s ready to heal.

I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and somatic (body-based) awareness to support emotional processing and connection. My work is rooted in healing, not fixing – honoring your voice, your story, and your pace. I offer bilingual therapy (English and Russian) for individuals and couples, with a special focus on relationships, intimacy, identity, and self-esteem. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin – you just need a safe space to land. I’d be honored to walk alongside you on that journey.
