Chiara Ogan
I'm a career changing, counseling psychology-studying, knitting, cat-loving, feminist, vegetarian, grad student Pisces.
The Big Island, Hawaii. August 2022
In September 2023 I started a Master's in Counseling Psychology at the Wright Institute in Berkeley. In the fall of 2026 I will graduate and begin my Associateship as either a Marriage and Family Therapist or a Professional Clinical Counseler. My goal is to practice in San Francisco weaving together a psychodynamic orientation with a mindfulness and Buddhist psychology approach. My biggest interest is working with adults with chronic pain, and how to help them come to terms with their condition and navigate the changes it brings to their life. I am also interested in working with adults going through major life changes, experiencing grief, and exploring contemplative and palliative care opportunities.
