About me
Adolescence is a challenge and difficult time in one's life. Having had to overcome personal obstacles in adolescence using techniques and insight learned from training and experience, my approach to adolescent depression, anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem stems from an empathetic rapport-building bridge that individualizes each teenager's perception of what is going on, and provides a guiding insight into what is possible and accessible inside the darkness and confusion.
I have worked in many treatment centers and programs within an adolescent and young adult track, and even personally developed an entire program and curriculum for adolescents, aged 13 to 18, at a mental health treatment center in California as the Chief Program Director.
Adolescents are often hesitant to share their experience and feelings because they fear if they do, things can get worse. I offer a platform of connection, trust, empathy, and hope that allows them to engage in their own process of wellness and healing, while learning how to connect, or re- connect, with you, their parents or caregivers.
My experience, practice, and training have shown me that our ways of thinking and feeling as young adults are due to very early years of self-authored truths and internalized half-truths. Our perceptions, interpretations, and beliefs about who we are and what everything means keep us trapped. Together, we will chip away at how to re-author the self in a non-judgmental setting.
We work at a pace that is tailored to them and their goals, to discover their best self, and what one can become going forward.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Olimpia Calaway. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
She’s so amazing and is helping me understand who I am and how to love myself
She is wonderful and she listens with intent and provides well thought-out guidance for me. Thank you!
Olimpia and I did an effective job of getting my confidence back to face the Post Pandemic life.
She's very easy to talk to and I always look forward to my sessions with her. She wants the best for me and works with me to help me better understand some of my thought patterns. She's also great with incorporating coping skills to my sessions. I highly recommend working with Olimpia.
I had a hard time outside of teen counseling finding a therapist that fits me and my needs but then I found Olimpia. She is a great listener and pays a lot of attention to detail. I love that she is not afraid to give advice no matter how hard it is to hear and because of that I have significantly improved with my problems in my daily life.
She has been very easy to talk to and easy to open up to I feel extremely comfortable with her and really love the type of feedback she gives me.
I am so glad I was paired with Olimpia! She has a way of understanding me and explaining things to me in a way I can relate to. I always feel better after my calls with her. She also sends me resources to help me. She’s awesome!!!
Well I can tell She is really nice I feel like she really cares about what I’m going through and really wants to help me.
Olimpia is a sweet, caring, and helpful counselor. I like her patient and nonjudgmental approach to the therapeutic relationship.
