Olivia Lebow
Hi all. My name is Olivia and I am a Clinical Social worker with over a decade of dedicated experience. My commitment to supporting others has been shaped by early recognition of the need for compassion, specially in healthcare. Growing up in a household of doctors, I gained insight into the profound connection between physical and emotional well-being.
Early Inspiration:
As a child, observing the work of doctors revealed that true health care goes beyond the physical realm—it extends into the emotional aspects of well-being. This realization ignited my passion for social work, driven by the belief that genuine care encompasses more than just medicine; it touches the core of our emotional experiences.
Education and Experience:
I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Colorado and pursued a Master of Social Work at Loyola University Chicago. Throughout my journey, I’ve worked with diverse individuals both in the U.S. and abroad. This global experience has deepened my understanding of the universal needs of support.
My Vision:
My goal is to forge a connection between physical health and mental well-being. I believe that our physical health directly impacts our emotional well-being. This website serves as a platform where I share my experiences and ideas, with the hope of inspiring others and instigating positive change in our community.
Invitation to Engage:

My Values
Compassion, Understanding, Support, Growth, Community
Welcome to my social work values page, where my daily practice is guided by a strong commitment to advocacy, meeting clients where they are, and recognizing the uniqueness of each individual’s experience. As a social worker, I prioritize being a dedicated advocate for my clients, striving to understand their distinct situations and needs. Growth is a fundamental value for me, emphasizing the importance of learning from challenging experiences and acknowledging the significance of every small step forward in personal development. Community plays a key role in my approach, as I believe in fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and understood. These values are not mere ideals; they actively shape my work and decisions, contributing to the creation of a more caring, supportive, and resilient world. Join me on this journey of making a positive impact, one guided by the principles of advocacy, growth, and community building.
Growth is another big value for me. It’s about getting through tough times and learning from them. Every small step forward matters. Community is also key. I believe in making a community where everyone feels listened to, important, and understood.
These values shape how I do my work. They help me make a world that’s more caring, supportive, and strong. They’re not just ideas to me; they’re what I base all my work and choices on.
