Olivia Gratz, PhD

I pursued a career in health care — specifically pediatric psychology — because I have always been driven by a desire to support children and families during important and vulnerable moments. I have seen how profoundly a child's emotional and psychological well-being can shape their health and development. I strive to make a positive, tangible, and lasting impact.

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and centered on understanding each child as a whole person. I work to create a safe, welcoming space where children and families feel heard, respected, and supported. Additionally, I implement evidence-based practices and focus on skill-building. I am passionate about sleep, parent-child dynamics, chronic illness, and anxiety.

I have the opportunity to witness growth, resilience, and connection every day. There is something incredibly meaningful about helping a child learn a new skill, gain confidence, and express emotions in ways that feel safe and empowering.
