Katherine Nydam Olivier
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
·MSW, LISWAbout
I have helped individuals and couples with issues such as relationship problems, anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, preoccupations with food and weight, substance abuse disorders, gender dysphoria, and recovery from trauma. I prefer to use a narrative approach in my clinical work, though I welcome and encourage client feedback and incorporate tools and ideas from a variety of practice models to help meet clients' needs. Narrative therapy is based on the idea that "the person is never the problem, the problem is the problem." In sessions, we explore values, experiences, turning points, and key relationships that guide a person's life. In doing so, we often uncover "forgotten stories" of strengths, knowledges, and resiliencies that open up new possibilities for preferred outcomes. Establishing therapy via the Internet may seem daunting, but connection - meaningful, heartfelt, supportive connection - is more important now than ever. We are truly building this bridge together as we walk across it, and every step can feel uncertain. I would be honored to walk at your side in these challenging times.
