Great to meet you!

Ayanna A. Oliver, M.S., LMHC (she/her), and I warmly welcome you to the next chapter of your life. In these times of uncertainty and collective trauma, there has never been a better moment to start therapy and unlock the best version of yourself that’s ready to emerge.

As you consider partnering with me, rest assured that I have intentionally created an authentic, nurturing, supportive, and, above all, nonjudgmental space. Together, we will embark on this transformative journey.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I work with clients from a holistic perspective because I believe that healing from trauma requires reconnecting with your entire self. My theoretical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), among others. I am committed to guiding you on your journey to wholeness.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect a dynamic and collaborative environment where their unique needs are at the forefront. Together, we will establish clear and attainable goals to enhance coping skills, elevate emotional well-being, and drive personal growth. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space that encourages self-reflection and empowers significant change, helping you gain the clarity needed to move forward with unwavering confidence and resilience.
