Olivia Carollo (she/her)

My dissertation investigated body image across diverse populations including WOC. In particular I am interested in how WOC use their bodies as a commodity in order to compensate for systemic-level oppression and white-cis-heteronormative dynamics. Clinically, I work from a holistic, relational, empowerment focused and intersectional feminist perspective. I recognize that areas of oppression are linked and cumulative.

Clinically, I work from a holistic, relational, empowerment focused and intersectional feminist perspective. I recognize that areas of oppression are linked and cumulative. In response, I work to help clients navigate these complex dynamics and improve their quality of life. As a Cis-White, Able-Bodied female, it is my job to do the background work and create a space where clients can explore, learn and understand themselves better. You are the expert of your life.

As a queer person in a straight-passing relationship, I recognize the privilege that I bring to the therapy room. In response, I work to continuously develop my knowledge base and "expertise" about both queer issues as well expansive relationships by engaging in continuing education, consultation and my clinical work. I see a large number of LGBTQ individuals and work to expand my personal network of friends and colleagues.

As a queer psychologist, I provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for LGBTQ+ clients navigating identity, gender, relationships, and systemic harm. My work is rooted in intersectionality, anti-oppression, and a deep respect for lived experience. I offer gender-affirming care without gatekeeping, and I am committed to creating a space where you are not just accepted—but truly seen, heard, and supported.

Clinically, I work from a holistic, relational, empowerment focused and intersectional feminist perspective. I recognize that areas of oppression are linked and cumulative. In response, I work to help clients navigate these complex dynamics and improve their quality of life. As a cis-white, able-bodied, queer female, it is my job to do the background work and create a space where clients can explore, learn and understand themselves better. You are the expert of your life.

I approach trauma therapy with a holistic, inclusive, and intersectional lens. Healing looks different for everyone, so I collaborate with each client to find what works—without pressure, assumptions, or a one-size-fits-all model. My work is grounded in safety, choice, and empowerment. I aim to create a space where you can reconnect with your body, your story, and your sense of agency—at a pace that feels right for you.

We are all relational beings seeking to make sense of the ourselves, others and the world. In response, the therapeutic relationship can be used as a vehicle to gain insight, self-compassion and understanding. Slowing down to consider why we (and others) act, believe and think the way we do can result in healthier relationships and boundaries while getting our needs met.
