Patricia Oliver

Dr. Patricia Oliver's journey in behavioral health began not in a clinic, but in the world of academic research at CU Denver. While she found fulfillment in her work with schools and research teams, she felt a calling to make a more direct impact on the lives of families and children. This desire led her to establish Oliver Behavioral Consultants (OBC) in 2010, marking the beginning of a transformative approach to behavioral health services in the Denver Metro area.

With over a decade of experience, Dr. Oliver has cultivated a unique multidisciplinary approach to therapy and behavioral health. Her vision for OBC stemmed from her early work in early intervention, where she primarily assisted families with children aged 0-3 years who were struggling with behavioral difficulties. It was through these intimate interactions with families in their homes that Dr. Oliver recognized the need for a more comprehensive, team-based approach to intervention.

Dr. Oliver's innovative perspective led her to create a tightly-knit multidisciplinary team at OBC. She strategically built her team, starting with an early childhood educator, then expanding to include speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, and most recently, a mental health team providing counseling and diagnostic services. This holistic approach ensures that children are valued as whole individuals with diverse needs, benefiting from a collaborative intervention strategy.

At the heart of Dr. Oliver's practice is a deep commitment to evidence-based support for young people and their families. Her approach is characterized by empathy, understanding, and a genuine dedication to her clients' well-being. Dr. Oliver believes in fostering a sense of belonging and trust as fundamental elements of effective therapy, creating an environment where positive outcomes and lasting change can flourish.

Through persistent work and unwavering dedication, Dr. Oliver has guided OBC to become a leading provider of behavioral health services in Colorado. Her vision of comprehensive care, combining diagnostic evaluations, mental health therapy, applied behavior analysis, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and group therapy, has positioned OBC as a one-stop resource for families navigating complex behavioral and developmental challenges. Dr. Oliver's legacy continues to shape the landscape of behavioral health, offering hope and expert care to countless families in the Denver Metro area and beyond.
