Octavia Macklin

Octavia is a licensed therapist based in California with three years of clinical experience and over a decade of prior work in addiction recovery. She specializes in supporting individuals navigating challenges related to relationships, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and life transitions. Their therapeutic style is direct, experiential, humanistic, and grounded in authenticity. Octavia strives to create an open, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. She takes an eclectic approach to therapy, drawing from a variety of modalities tailored to each person’s unique needs—because they believe there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. In addition to their general practice, Octavia is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful method often used to help individuals process trauma or deeply rooted emotional patterns. At the heart of her work is the belief that each person is the expert on their own life. Octavia sees her role as a supportive guide, helping clients uncover clarity, resilience, and meaningful change. She honors the courage it takes to seek support and is committed to empowering individuals on their journey toward a more fulfilling life.
