Shyla Oliver is a military spouse that has gained her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University and obtained her bachelor’s of science of psychology from Washington State University. Shyla has experience working closely with clients as a certified nursing assistant before changing career paths to mental health counseling. She received the silver medal and graduated with distinction from Liberty University in 2025. She is excited to work with children, adults and families while helping to bridge the gap of the mental health stigma.
“Counseling is very collaborative, and my style is no different. I look forward to working with children, adults, and families so we can work as a team. My goal is to help you gain skills that you can take and apply to your life in order to facilitate healing and growth. I want to see my clients take control of their lives and feel empowered in doing so.
In her free time, Shyla likes to spend time with her husband and three kids, working out and baking.
