In this episode of Resilient and Rowdy, Jess sits down with Olivera—a licensed therapist, yoga teacher, and business owner—to explore her path to opening a private practice and her holistic approach to mental health. Olivera reflects on how her passion for psychology began in high school and shares her experience working in addiction treatment and psychiatric settings. She breaks down her somatic, mindfulness-based style of therapy and explains how she uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) alongside yoga and trauma-informed practices. Olivera also compares ART to EMDR, emphasizing its efficiency and impact. The conversation wraps with insights on resilience, individualized care, and the power of a strong therapeutic relationship.
