Wanda Olugbala, LMSW

Wanda Olugbala brings 30 years of practice focused on supporting people who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Known for her work with parents, healthcare professionals, teachers, social workers, first responders, and community organizers, she centers her practice on what she calls "Healing the Helper" and helps clients restore balance after long periods of self-sacrifice. Wanda holds an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) and is a certified member of the Academy of Clinical Social Workers, combining professional training with deep experience to address burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain.

Her approach blends interpersonal work with cognitive behavioral techniques to address both relationship patterns and unhelpful thought processes. She emphasizes collaborative, solution-focused partnership that builds on a person’s existing strengths while teaching practical strategies for sustainable self-care and boundary setting. Clients work on concrete tools they can use immediately to reduce overwhelm and protect their energy so they can continue supporting others without sacrificing themselves.

Wanda frames the healing process as purposeful and hopeful, guiding people to move beyond limiting beliefs toward greater confidence and healthier connections. In her online sessions she maintains a respectful, empathetic stance, acting as a guide rather than an authoritative expert. Progress is measured in meaningful, attainable steps, with attention to celebrating small gains and creating a lasting path forward for wellbeing.
