Olivia Omoruan

Olivia Omoruan is a final-year Master of Social Work student at the University of Toronto. She brings multiple years of experience in counselling, advocacy, crisis intervention, and community mental health, with particular experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and interpersonal violence.

In addition to providing individual therapy at the Online Therapy Centre, Olivia brings experience as a Sexual Violence Counsellor, providing individual and group counselling to survivors of sexual violence. Her experience has included supporting individuals across diverse identities and backgrounds, including women, youth, and gender-diverse individuals. Olivia has also worked alongside survivors of human trafficking and domestic violence. Through these experiences, she has developed a strong appreciation for the importance of safety, trust, autonomy, and collaboration within the therapeutic relationship.

Olivia’s approach to therapy is trauma-informed, person-centred, relational, and strengths-based. She recognizes that people’s emotional well-being is shaped not only by their individual experiences, but also by their relationships, identities, communities, and the broader systems in which they live. She strives to understand each client within the context of their unique experiences while recognizing the strengths, knowledge, and resilience they already bring with them.

Olivia supports clients navigating trauma and experiences of abuse, anxiety, stress, relationship and interpersonal concerns, and periods of transition or uncertainty. She is committed to providing culturally responsive and anti-oppressive care that honours each client’s unique identity, strengths, experiences, and circumstances. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Olivia works collaboratively with clients to understand what matters most to them and to identify goals that feel meaningful and relevant to their lives.

At the heart of Olivia’s therapeutic approach is the belief that a strong therapeutic relationship can provide an important foundation for healing and growth. She aims to create a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where clients can speak openly, develop greater insight into their experiences and patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels right for them.

As an intern therapist, Olivia receives ongoing clinical supervision as she continues to develop her therapeutic practice and provide ethical, thoughtful, and compassionate care.
