Olivia Porter, LPC-A

As a woman of color and a therapist, I am passionate about providing affirming, anti-racist care to clients of all backgrounds. I approach therapy with warmth, authenticity, and a deep commitment to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen and heard. I believe that healing happens in relationships, and I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and valued. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, meaning I meet you where you are, without judgment, and work alongside you to navigate life’s challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan, specializing in Interpersonal Practice in Integrated Health and Mental Health. My experience includes working with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and life transitions. I am especially passionate about helping teenagers build the skills they need to navigate life’s challenges with confidence—whether they are managing emotions, adjusting to
new life transitions, or learning strategies they’ll carry into adulthood. Additionally I am experienced in supporting families in strengthening communication and connection, particularly when navigating complex or high-conflict dynamics. I know that therapy can feel intimidating, whether you’re new to it or have tried it before, and I work to make the experience approachable by bringing empathy, humor, and authenticity into our sessions.
