About

Dr. Olivier van Hauwermeiren, Psy D. 

Licensed in New York (#026872), Wisconsin (#5331-57), and PSYPACT authorized (E.Passport & APIT)

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a deep commitment to helping individuals and couples achieve their mental health goals. I completed my doctoral training at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and have worked in a variety of clinical settings, including community mental health and hospitals. I provide therapy in English and Spanish. I've had the privilege of working with clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I focus on supporting individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I also work with couples using the Gottman Method (Level 2 trained) to improve communication and connection.

In therapy, I draw from several evidence-based modalities — including CBT, ACT, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Prolonged Exposure (PE) — to tailor the process to each person’s unique needs and goals. My goal is to help clients move through their challenges and toward meaningful, lasting change.

Outside of the therapy room, I have contributed to research exploring the relationship between personality and emotional functioning in Mixed Martial Artists. I've also been actively involved with the Society of Neurosport in Florida, which has deepened my interest in the connection between psychology and performance.

At the core of my work is a desire to help people reconnect with their values, strengthen their relationships, and reclaim a sense of well-being in their lives.
