Allison Oliver

I was fascinated with human behavior in college, which led me to study Psychology in college. I received my B.A. in Psychology in 2008 from Earlham College and Master of Social Work, in 2020 from Chicago State University. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and enjoy providing therapy services to a large range of ages and populations.

I also have experience as a case manager in the health care system and experience working with children in the school system and with teens and adults who need mental health services/resources. I enjoy providing my clients with tools/resources that they can add to their mental health toolbox/treatment plan that can used as soon as our session ended.

My goal as an effective therapist is to create a warm, welcoming and safe environment for all of my clients. I use several therapy modalities including Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. My specialty population includes children, teenagers and adults.

The mental health diagnosis that I treat includes depression, anxiety, grief, OCD and martial problems. When I am not at work, I enjoy traveling to different countries and yoga, shopping and reading.

The therapist will use CBT and Solution Focused therapy to create a care plan to treat several mental health diagnosis.

The first visit will include discussing the details from several assessments while building trust. The therapist and the patient will complete an intake form, assessed current needs/building trust and creating a personalize care plan.
