Oliver Harper , LPC

Oliver Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a broad background in clinical settings and community care. He has worked in residential programs for adolescents, served as a clinician and consultant in short-term acute care for adults and adolescents, provided in-home therapy throughout Metro Atlanta, and maintained a private practice for 15 years. He holds an MS in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University and has completed seminary studies in Atlanta, as well as graduate work in Leadership and Apologetics. His academic background also includes undergraduate and graduate degrees in Industrial and Organizational Psychology and additional business school training, complemented by professional experience on Wall Street.

He has specialized and certificate training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Adlerian psychology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and parenting approaches. REBT is his primary treatment modality and he uses it to offer pragmatic tools for reducing stress and anxiety and for promoting effective everyday living. Over the course of his career he has substantial experience supporting traumatized clients and has developed interventions to address trauma's impact. He also integrates elements of Stoic philosophy into his clinical work.

As a clinician he offers compassionate inquiry into the lasting effects of family dysfunction, trauma, alcoholism, anxiety, perfectionism, and strong approval needs that often begin in childhood. His training supports clients in connecting past experiences to present patterns and in integrating fragmented parts of themselves. A lifelong learner devoted to service, he guides individuals toward recognizing their capacities and strengthening their sense of identity and agency. He values the therapeutic relationship as a privileged opportunity to witness and support each person in discovery, recovery, and integration toward a more resilient self.
