What we do
Ollin Therapy is a group therapy practice based in Oakland, California and support folks in the state of California. We help adults, older teens, and couples work through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship struggles, and intergenerational wounds.
Our therapists share many of the cultures and lived experiences of the people we serve. We combine proven clinical approaches such as EMDR, somatic therapy, narrative and relational therapy with ancestral and Indigenous ways of healing.
Who: adults and older teens, individuals and couples
Where: online anywhere in California and in person Oakland
Languages: English, Spanish, and Spanglish
Our approach moves beyond traditional Western models of therapy. We challenge systems of oppression that disconnect us from ourselves, our communities, and our roots. Instead, we embrace an approach that is relational, liberatory, and culturally rooted.
How we work
Ollin is the Mexica day sign for movement and transformation. That's how we understand the healing journey. Not a fixed linear process, but as dynamic movement.
We see trauma as personal, historical, intergenerational, and systemic that is carried in the body, the family, and the community. So our work goes beyond talk. Depending on what you need, sessions may include:
Trauma-informed therapy including EMDR
Somatic practices and nervous system regulation
Narrative, relational, and couples work
Storytelling, dreamwork, ritual, and connection to land and the elements
We work collaboratively with you to set the pace and choose what fits. All work is offered ethically, collaboratively, and with cultural respect and humility. We believe therapy is ceremony, and each session is an invitation to reconnect with your body, your story, and your original knowing.
