Trauma Therapy in New York City
Trauma is not only a memory — it is something the body holds. Oliver's trauma-focused approach addresses the physiological roots of trauma rather than just managing its symptoms.
Somatic Experiencing
As a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), trained in the method founded by Dr. Peter Levine, Oliver helps clients learn the language of the body and dissipate trauma and distress — discharging what is stored so that deep and lasting healing can happen.
Trauma and addiction, together
Recognizing the profound connection between addiction and trauma, Oliver treats them together: anxiety and depression that coexist with addiction and often arise from traumatic events, with gentle guidance and collaboration, so clients develop an increased ability to handle life events that used to be overwhelming.
His experience runs deep: before moving to the United States, Oliver provided individual and group counseling for students and teachers suffering from trauma during the Apartheid years in South Africa — working across language barriers with music, puppets, and performance art.
