Hi there, I’m Olya Rich, and I wear many hats in the world of mental health and wellness. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Hypnotherapist, Spiritual Advisor, and Life Coach, my mission is simple: to help you find your path to healing and self-discovery.

Owning a mental health private practice here in Maryland is a dream come true for me. I wake up every day excited to support individuals and families through life’s ups and downs. Whether it’s helping you navigate personal challenges or guiding you toward a more fulfilling life, I’m here for you every step of the way.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is mentoring young therapists as a board-approved supervisor. It’s incredibly fulfilling to watch them grow and thrive in their careers.

My journey in psychology began with a BA in Psychology from Catholic University of America and continued with an MA in Community Counseling from Argosy University. But my education didn’t stop there. I’ve delved into a wide range of therapeutic modalities, from hypnotherapy and EFT to mindfulness-based approaches like Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

When you come to see me, expect a warm and welcoming environment where you can truly be yourself. I’m passionate about meditation and mindfulness, and I’ll often invite you to join me in exploring these practices during our sessions. After all, I believe that the answers we seek are already within us – sometimes, we just need a little guidance to find them.

Outside of work, you’ll find me enjoying quality time with my loving family, friends and my sweet cat Lilly. I’m a big fan of electronic dance music, so you might catch me shuffling at a music festival or two. I also find peace and serenity in my garden, on my yoga mat, and during relaxing trips to the beach and mountains.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I’m always eager to expand my horizons. I’m deeply interested in spirituality, energy work and exploring past life regressions, constantly seeking new ways to deepen my connection to the world around me.

So, if you’re ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to uncover the best version of yourself – because you deserve it!
