Laura Olear, M.A. |
Change is an inevitable part of life, and for those who feel like they don’t fit in or often see themselves as the odd one out, navigating these shifts with self-compassion and empathy can foster profound healing and growth. I am honored to assistindividuals working through life transitions, partnering together to explore their biological, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being, while helping them gain clarity and thrive during pivotal moments. With a special interest in supporting third-culture kids, immigrants, people with multicultural backgrounds, or anyone who simply feels like they never fit in, I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered to embrace their unique paths.
