Getting to know Shanda Oliver

I am a licensed therapist with a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University and experience working with individuals negotiating both mental health and medical ailments. I focus on those suffering with mental illness and chronic illness. Additionally, I have an extensive history working with diverse groups including LGBTQ+ individuals, at-risk youth, and children and adults with developmental disabilities. I find that work very fulfilling, as well.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In therapy, my goal is to use a person-centered approach and focus on the issues most pressing to you. I hope to create a warm, welcoming space for my clients and use a collaborative approach to resolve the issues we explore. In my opinion, being solution-focused and identifying strengths and barriers are critical to creating sustainable change.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I like to assist people with creating their own path. We may experience trauma, abuse, drug addiction, loss, grief, racism, poverty, and/or homelessness which can affect our self-image, view of the world, and our ability to achieve our goals. I believe that with skillfully guided therapy, a person can rebound from adversity, rebuild, repair, and create a whole life with self-love and the ability to connect with others to create community. I’d like to work together with you to have this happen.
