Dr. Brandon Olive

Dr. Brandon Olive is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He brings 21 years of experience to his work and emphasizes compassion and caring as central to helping people manage and move through life’s difficulties.

He acknowledges that cultural background and personal beliefs are fundamental to development and change, and he approaches treatment collaboratively - working with clients as the experts on their own lives. He values what science and research contribute to treatment and uses evidence-informed strategies to support improved planning, thinking, reacting, and behaving.

Across a variety of settings, Dr. Olive has worked with people from many walks of life and with a broad spectrum of concerns. He assists with issues ranging from everyday stressors to more serious problems such as major depression, anxiety, panic, significant life adjustments, and prolonged grief. He also has lengthy clinical experience with patients who required hospitalization and medication management, including those with traumatic brain injuries and psychotic symptoms.

Given that background, in addition to counseling he may offer recommendations for other kinds of assistance that can help address difficult-to-treat symptoms and guide clients toward their higher potential. He offers online services to better reach community members who can be hard to engage through part-time private work or who are not reachable through his full-time agency work.

Dr. Olive encourages prospective clients to reach out for an initial conversation to discuss their concerns and determine whether his approach is a good fit. He believes that honesty and transparency are important when selecting a therapist, and he looks forward to meeting people and working together to identify the best path forward.
