Olena Chechell
Psychodynamic therapist | EMDR
MBACP
Many of us go into therapy because something isn’t feeling quite right. Perhaps, you’re feeling anxious, depressed, or lost. Perhaps, you’re trying to navigate through trauma, loss, or emotions. It is also possible that you do not fully know what is bothering you but that there is something that you want to get clarity on. Psychotherapy can be the space for all of these experiences.
As a psychodynamic therapist, I aim to create a safe and comfortable space for self exploration. I won’t just sit passively; I’ll actively engage with you. We will work together to start unpacking parts of your story. We will sit with difficult emotions and turn towards them to get insight.
As a therapist, my intention is to hold space in a manner that provides support and upholds the sanctity of the therapeutic relationship. My focus is on creating a secure and safe space for you to go inwards.
In addition to talk therapy, I have knowledge in parts work, dream analysis, and somatic work. Bringing the body, dreams, and images into the work allows us to deepen our exploration of our inner world. It allows us to access our unconscious mind which is so rich with knowledge and direction.
I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) in my work as a way to process trauma and get us past the loop of stuckness.
If you’re feeling called, I hope to hear from you.
With Warmth,
Olena

Qualifications and Experience
I have a deep passion for dream analysis, active imagination, and creativity, and I've pursued extensive continuing professional development in these areas.
In my own therapeutic journey, these practices have been especially meaningful, offering profound opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I love exploring different cultures through travel. I’m also drawn to the magic of music and the rich world of storytelling through novels. When I’m not reading, you’ll often find me spending quality time with friends and family or immersing myself in creative projects.
