Ola Sol therapy

Do you desire a life of internal authenticity, space and freedom, but don’t know where to start? Have you hoped to engage in sustainable work to go inward, but just haven’t found the place to do so? Are you ready to make space for all of YOU and unload the pain you’ve been tucking away for so long? Are you tired of feeling stuck? And most importantly, are you ready to sit in the discomfort of change?

Welcome.

Hi, my name is Giovanna (she/her). I’m a Therapist, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), and owner of Ola Sol Therapy, PLLC. I’ve been in the field of social work since 2015 and have spent the last 4 years as a Mental Health Professional. I am a first-generation Chicana and a local to the Seattle Area. I am an English speaking therapist. Although I am proud of my Mexican heritage, there’s also the reality that parts of me have been severed from my culture, and this includes my native tongue.
