About Olivia Therapy and Retreats​
What We Do
Olivia Therapy and Retreats is a collective of caring professionals in London, Ontario, dedicated to helping clients heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves. The clinic was founded on the belief that wellness is not one-size-fits-all. For some, healing begins with one-on-one therapy. For others, it may be through massage therapy, acupuncture, occupational therapy, or even a supportive retreat experience.
The team provides a wide range of services, including psychotherapy, trauma treatment, registered massage therapy, acupuncture, occupational therapy, trauma-sensitive yoga coaching, and couples therapy, so that clients can find the right fit for their needs. Whether through a single session or a group retreat, the focus is always on creating a safe, warm, and down-to-earth space.

Our Philosophy
At Olivia Therapy and Retreats, every client is seen as a whole person. The team takes a trauma-informed, individualized, and holistic approach, beginning where the client wants to begin.
Rather than convincing or persuading, practitioners provide options and guidance, empowering people to make the choices that work best for them. The clinic frequently refers to community partners as well, seeing other local wellness providers not as competitors but as allies in the shared goal of supporting health and healing.
The goal is simple: that every person who walks through the door feels understood, cared for, and deeply welcomed.

Why Therapy and Retreats Together?Olivia Therapy and Retreats was designed to offer both traditional therapeutic services and small, group-based retreats. While one-on-one sessions work well for many, others thrive in a group setting where connection and shared reflection can spark meaningful change.
The retreats are short, affordable, and accessible, an act of self-care that leaves participants feeling refreshed. They are intentionally designed to be inclusive and approachable: “We don’t do any ‘weird’ stuff,” Olivia explains. “You could come alone and totally belong.” |

Olivia GriggMSW, RSW - FounderBehind the clinic is founder Olivia Grigg, a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Windsor and a Bachelor of Social Work from King’s University College.
Olivia’s path to becoming a therapist was shaped by both her professional journey and personal experiences. She began her studies in Violin Performance, completing a Bachelor of Music before discovering her true calling in social work. After earning her Social Service Worker diploma at Fanshawe College, she worked at the London Intercommunity Health Centre, where she found fulfillment in both community development and one-on-one client support. During the years that followed, Olivia pursued her BSW and MSW while raising three young children, completing coursework and placements between breastfeeding, bedtimes, and family life. Through her own transformative experiences in therapy, she discovered a passion for psychotherapy, which she now describes as “exactly what I am designed for.” |
