Clinical Supervision with Sacha M. Olan, LMFT

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and clinical supervisor, I believe that the heart of therapy lies in the authentic connection we create when we bring our true selves into the work. At The Connection Nook, I offer a space where emerging clinicians can not only build their clinical skills but also embrace their own unique qualities, growing both professionally and personally.

In our time together, we’ll explore the "self of the therapist"—the experiences, emotions, and essence you bring into the room. We’ll weave your humanity with your clinical knowledge, helping you cultivate a therapeutic presence that feels both grounded and compassionate. Together, we’ll approach each session with creativity, grace, and a commitment to maintaining ethical boundaries, ensuring you foster strong, respectful relationships with your clients while honoring your own professional integrity.

Through self-reflection and awareness, we’ll work to align your personal values with your therapeutic approach, allowing your authenticity to guide your practice. We’ll also explore how to integrate your emotional responses and personal insights into your work, turning them into valuable tools for growth. As you grow into your own style, you’ll be better equipped to build deep, meaningful connections that support your clients in their healing. Together, we’ll create space for you to embrace both the challenges and rewards of this work with confidence and grace.

Cultural humility will be a central focus, allowing us to honor the diverse backgrounds and stories your clients bring with them. We’ll work to deepen your understanding and empathy, ensuring that each person you meet feels seen, heard, and respected.

By the end of our time together, I hope you will feel more confident, skilled, and authentic in your clinical practice. But most of all, I want you to feel more connected to the heart of the work—the powerful, transformative relationships you create with your clients.
