My name is Olivia Snyder, and I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania. My approach to counseling is empowerment-based, process oriented, and solutions-focused. In my twelve-plus years as a therapist, I've found that practicing mindfulness and learning about one's own motivations, strengthening the empathy response, facing fears, and dismantling barriers are what lead to fulfillment and personal growth and freedom. My style is to be curious and challenging, is generally discussion-based, and always leaves room for humor and freedom of expression.
I have extensive experience with individuals diagnosed with mood disorders, trauma histories, attachment trauma, stress, anxiety, and relationship struggles. I'm especially passionate about individual expression, identity explorations, and assisting LGBTQIA+ individuals explore their selfhood. Additionally, I have an arts background, and believe art and literature (and all artistic mediums) are important tools to harness for healing and discovery.
