Olivia Pendelton, CSW

Hi, I’m Olivia, a Certified Social Worker. I primarily work with children and adolescents navigating anxiety, autism, ADHD, OCD, and trauma-related challenges. That said, I enjoy supporting clients of all ages and backgrounds. I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs, drawing from modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Play Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and other expressive therapies.

​

Creating a safe, welcoming space is my top priority. I believe a strong client-therapist relationship is at the heart of meaningful therapeutic work. Therapy can sometimes feel intimidating, but with trust, patience, and the right support, positive change is always possible. I also value collaborating with caregivers to help bring the work we do in session into everyday life.

​

A bit about me: Outside the therapy office, I’m a big traveler and total foodie! I love discovering new restaurants and exploring new places with friends. When I’m not adventuring, you’ll usually find me crocheting or staying active through hiking, rock climbing, yoga, or running. I like to bring this active, playful energy into my sessions, especially with kids! I believe children often engage best when therapy is creative, hands-on, and movement-based. Expressive approaches like play and art therapy often help children open up in ways traditional talk therapy simply can’t.

​

If you or your child are ready to start the journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.
