Olivia Smith

Developmental Therapist in the Petaluma Office

My name is Olivia Smith, and I am from Sonoma County, where I currently reside in Santa Rosa. I graduated from Sonoma State University in May 2026 with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and will be returning this fall to pursue my Master's degree in School Counseling.

Before becoming a Developmental Therapist, I worked as a preschool teacher for three years. During that time, I developed a passion for supporting children's growth and helping them build confidence, independence, and important life skills. As a Developmental Therapist, I strive to create a positive, supportive, and individualized environment where each client feels valued, understood, and empowered to reach their goals. I am grateful for the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families while continuing to grow both personally and professionally.

In my free time, I enjoy painting, exploring local hiking trails with my dog, and discovering new coffee shops around Sonoma County. My favorite food is sushi, and I am always excited to try new restaurants and experiences. My long-term goal is to become a school counselor, and I am passionate about helping children and adolescents navigate challenges, develop resilience, and achieve success both inside and outside the classroom.
