Wanda Olugbala, LMSW

Wanda Olugbala is a licensed social worker with three decades of experience focused on supporting people who spend their lives caring for others. She practices with an emphasis on healing the helper - offering tailored support to parents, healthcare professionals, teachers, social workers, first responders, and community organizers who have prioritized others while neglecting their own needs.

Holding an LMSW, which denotes a licensed master social worker, she combines a warm, collaborative style with practical, solution-oriented interventions. Her work blends interpersonal approaches with cognitive behavioral techniques and draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to address burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, trauma, and a wide range of life challenges.

Wanda helps clients translate accumulated emotional exhaustion into renewed energy and clearer boundaries, while building on existing strengths to support sustainable self-care. She also offers focused help with family and parenting concerns, grief, eating and sleeping issues, anger, career and financial stress, ADHD, adoption and foster care issues, and other areas where caregiving roles intersect with personal wellbeing.

Sessions are collaborative and practical, aimed at creating immediate, implementable strategies for healthier relationships, improved emotional regulation, and a renewed sense of purpose. As a member of the Academy of Clinical Social Workers, she provides an experienced, empathic presence that centers clients' wisdom while guiding them toward gradual, meaningful change.
