Olivia hedden, LMHC (dAVENPORT OFFICE)

 Hello and welcome! My name is Olivia (she/her), and I’m glad you’re here.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults facing a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, life transitions, self esteem, and self harming behaviors. I received my Bachelor’s Degree from Purdue and my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of Iowa. I have experience providing services in different clinical settings, most recently community mental health and crisis stabilization.  

I understand that you are the expert of your own experience, and my goal is to create a safe space to empower you while you navigate life’s journey. I recognize the importance of trauma-informed care in my practice. My main approach to therapy is person-centered. As a clinician, I will be empathic, genuine, and nonjudgmental.

Additionally, I use interventions from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as needed. We will work together to tailor your treatment plan specifically for you and your needs.

Whether you're experiencing personal struggles, seeking to challenge behavior patterns, or looking for additional support, I'm here to help. I look forward to working collaboratively to assist you in maximizing your wellbeing.
