Olivia Pendleton, Student Intern

 Hello!  I am a Master’s student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Spalding University. I believe in meeting people where they are and recognize that everyone’s path towards healing looks different. 

I take a holistic approach to counseling.  I am excited to look at individual & family systems and understand how all the moving pieces fit together. 

I believe in using primarily evidence based interventions stemming from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques.  I love to also interweave creativity, adaptability, and playfulness into working sessions with individuals.
