Olivia Hodges is the dedicated Front Office Coordinator at Lido Wellness Center, where her journey in mental health treatment is both personal and professional. Olivia’s path to this role was guided by a deep-seated passion for mental wellness, rooted in her own experiences and a desire to support others.

Having joined the mental health field just this year, Olivia has quickly adapted to her role at Lido Wellness Center.

These experiences, though not directly related to mental health treatment, honed her ability to connect with and support individuals in their journey of self-care and wellness.

Olivia’s commitment to mental health advocacy began in her adolescent years, following her own diagnosis of depression and anxiety. This personal connection to mental health challenges, combined with her family’s experiences, has given her a unique perspective and a deep understanding of the importance of support and empathy in this field.

Outside of work, Olivia nurtures her own mental wellness through creative and introspective activities. She engages in journaling, writing music and poetry, and finds solace in nature through walks and adventures in the mountains. Additionally, her interest in self-awareness and growth is fueled by reading books on these topics, continually broadening her understanding of the human mind.
