Olivia Snyder

I'm a licensed clinical social worker in PA. A lifelong Philadelphian, I received my Masters in social work from Temple University, focusing in clinical practice, in 2010. I have worked extensively with adults and adolescents in the community and privately. I specialize in treating attachment trauma, identity exploration, family and relationship conflicts, and parenting support. Pre-MSW, I worked in the culture and visual arts realm, an area of continued passion that inspires me and sometimes informs my therapeutic practice.

I utilize a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach that seeks to integrate and excavate a difficult past and work toward transforming the present. My style is process-oriented and non-directive, allowing for flowing thought as opposed to being instructive or advice-giving.

Our first session will be an exploration of your current concerns, a brief history, and some thoughts about your goals for counseling. You'll have the opportunity to ask me questions, and we'll start setting the tone for our work together. Moving forward, we'll continue the conversation and explore your story. We'll work on making the connections between past experiences and current patterns of thought and behavior that may have created barriers to your growth or kept you from achieving your goals. This work is hard, but ultimately freeing!
