Olivia Ames

My name is Olivia and I am currently in the dual counseling program (school counseling & mental health counseling) at Bridgewater State University. I am also interning at an elementary school with the school adjustment counselor. I have over 10 years of experience working with children. I bring with me a deep personal understanding of loss and a strong desire to support people through their own grief journeys. After experiencing the loss of a significant loved one at a young age, I’ve developed a passion for creating safe, compassionate spaces where children can process their emotions and be supported. I am especially drawn to play-based therapy and art therapy approaches, which I believe are powerful tools for helping children express their emotions. In my free time I like to read, practice yoga, and spend time with my family and friends.
