Welcome! I am glad you found your way here.
If you are seeking therapy I assume that you are struggling – you are feeling either overwhelmed, or stuck, or disconnected, or really low.
You may have depression, anxiety, addiction and relationship issues.
You may know what changes you want.
Or you may not.
Emotional pain has many names, faces, and disguises.
I know how to hold the space for your pain. When the pain is shared, it gets alleviated.
I’ll be walking alongside whatever bumps and pits your path takes.
I see clients in Oakville and online across Ontario.
My name is Olga Klimenkova.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist.
I have a special interest in trauma and attachment issues. I work with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, personal crisis, self-esteem challenges, loneliness and isolation. I also work with individuals seeking self-exploration and personal growth. (Read more about me)
I use Gestalt therapy and Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy as the backbone in my work to help you
– feel grounded again
– untangle confusing feelings
– learn to self-regulate by identifying your emotions, needs and reactions
– better understand your patterns and how you are stuck in unsatisfying cycles
– see how your past trauma and attachment style are ingrained in your current relationships
– gain self-confidence (Read more about my approach)
Services I offer :
Individual therapy
Individual psychotherapy is a special opportunity to explore yourself, your personal and relational challenges, your wounds and scars. My task as a therapist is to support and increase awareness of what gets in your way and how that holds you back from living the life you long for. I meet my clients where they are, so they develop more self-acceptance, and gain resources for a change needed.
Couples therapy
The focus of my work with couples is how partners are interacting with each other. I facilitate a respectful dialogue so the couple can come up with their own unique way to resolve a conflict, to build a better communication, to restore and to foster trust and intimacy, or to end the relationship ecologically. Each partner will have a non-judgemental space to voice their relational concerns, to be heard in their needs. I also use a trauma informed lens to identify how your past experiences are present in the relationship.
Group therapy
Group psychotherapy is a unique and rich space to explore how you connect, attach and function in a relationship, and to see yourself through other people’s eyes. In the group, thanks to the interaction between participants and a facilitator, and due to the intensity of the ongoing processes, personal and relational issues, challenges and hardships emerge here and now. It isprecisely this that allows one to become aware of familiar behavioral patterns and to try new ones in a safe and supportive environment.
