About Me

Olivia Wheeler; Licensed Professional Counselor

I'm a licensed Professional Counselor serving adults in Colorado and Texas. My work focuses on addiction recovery, relationships (romantic and familial), and major life transitions (aging, divorce, prenatal/postpartum), and trauma.  I have a heart for guiding clients towards solutions and healing. My therapy approach is friendly but direct. I desire to help you identify solutions to the patterns in your life that may be keeping you mentally stuck or emotionally depleted.

Individual Therapy

Are you exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling lost? Are you struggling with breaking patterns in your life that keep you stuck? I will assist you in processing and untangling the complicated problems in your life. I use a creative approach to talk therapy based on your needs, with an aim to help you find and achieve your ideal self and regain confidence and power over your life.

 I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a research-backed therapy that helps people process and heal from distressing experiences. For clients, this means we can work together to reduce emotional overwhelm, shift unhelpful beliefs, and support lasting relief—without needing to relive every detail of the past. 



Addiction & Recovery Counseling

Addiction & Recovery Counseling

Addiction & Recovery Counseling

"I'm sober!...now what?" 


I specialize in addiction and recovery with an emphasis on maintaining long-term sobriety by addressing underlying issues that led to addictive behaviors in the first place. 


I also see family members of addicts and recognize the weight of hopelessness that watching your loved one suffer brings.

Relationship Counseling

Addiction & Recovery Counseling

 

Many people come to therapy feeling disconnected—in their relationships with family, romantic partners, or themselves. Old family patterns, communication breakdowns, or a lack of self-compassion can leave us feeling stuck and overwhelmed.

These struggles often overlap. When we’re unsure how to set boundaries with loved ones, or feel lost in our own identity, it can affect every area of our lives.

I create a space that allows us to explore these patterns, reconnect with self, and begin building healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Counseling Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

What is Cognitive behavioral therapy or "CBT"? It is a type of talk therapy that identifies the fact that our thoughts can affect our feelings which can affect our behaviors. Allow me to assist you in identifying roadblocks in your thinking that are holding you back from feeling your best self.

Motivational Interviewing

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Motivational interviewing is a talk therapy approach that allows you to break the thought loop that you may get stuck in on your own.  We use this strategy to guide you in fully understanding yourself, and building the confidence necessary to change. 

Gottman Informed

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Gottman Informed

Humans are relational creatures. Relationships are where we often grow, and also struggle. 

Are you struggling to maintain a healthy line of communication between you and your partner? Having trouble finding your voice in your relationship? I strive to assist individuals in resolving these issues and finding harmony among familial and romantic relationships. 

People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, ‘Soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner.’ I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.
