About Me
I’m Olea Ahmann, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Toronto. I offer therapy for individuals and couples navigating relationship stress, caregiving demands, cultural friction, and life transitions.
My approach is psychodynamic at its core: curious, relational, and attuned to the ways early experiences shape how we love, fight, and connect today. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly formal. It’s warm, sometimes gently assertive, and always centred on what feels most alive for you in the moment. I bring my full humanity into the room, and I invite you to do the same, whether that includes complexity, humour, grief, ambivalence, or all of the above.
Why I Do This Work
I came to psychotherapy after years of living the tensions many of my clients sit with: trying to be everything to everyone, carrying invisible family roles, and navigating the push-pull between cultural expectations and personal truth.
I’m a mother of three, a first-generation immigrant, and a daughter caring for aging parents. I know what it’s like to feel stretched, lost, or quietly overwhelmed while keeping it all running on the outside. And I know how much power there is in being seen and understood without having to explain yourself from scratch.
Therapy helped me reconnect with what matters most, my own voice, needs, and capacity for connection. I now hold space for others to do the same.
Couples navigating disconnection, conflict, or long-standing patterns
Parents, partners, and adult children who feel caught in between
People managing multiple cultural identities, roles, and expectations
Neurodiverse individuals and couples navigating different ways of being in a relationship
Those exploring identity, intimacy, or boundaries in all forms. I'm LGBTQ+ and kink-affirming, and I work with a broad spectrum of relational styles
Clients often tell me they appreciate my warmth, thoughtful insight, and the space to be both vulnerable and lighthearted when needed. I bring a steady presence, a curious mind, and a deep respect for the messy, nonlinear work of becoming more fully ourselves in relationship with others.
I work in both English and Russian, and I welcome clients from all walks of life.
Who I Work With
How to Get Started
Therapy doesn’t have to be cold or clinical. It can be a place where you breathe a little deeper, tell the truth without apology, and start to shift the things that feel stuck.
If something in what I’ve shared resonates with you, I’d love to meet you. We’ll start with a free 30-minute consultation to see if it feels like the right fit.
