Rooted in Hope and Renewal
Compassionate Counseling Focused on Healing, Restoration, and Hope
Olive & Ash was created as a space for restoration, especially in seasons marked by loss, pain, or brokenness. The name itself reflects this belief. Ash often represents what has been burned, lost, or left behind, while the Olive branch has long symbolized peace, endurance, and renewal. Together, they tell a story of hope: that something meaningful can grow from even the hardest experiences.
Therapy at Olive & Ash is approached with patience, compassion, and deep respect for each client’s unique story. Healing is not rushed or forced, but supported through safety, connection, and steady care as clients move toward clarity, grounding, and renewed strength.
Collaborative Care
Our mission is to provide thoughtful, ethical, and compassionate counseling in a space where clients feel safe enough to be fully known. We believe:
-
Healing happens best in an environment of safety, trust, and respect
-
Each person’s story deserves to be honored without judgment or pressure
-
Therapy should move at a pace that feels steady, intentional, and sustainable
-
Pain can be acknowledged honestly while still holding space for hope
-
Restoration is possible even after deep loss, betrayal, or trauma
Melissa Anderson
LPC, LMHC, CSAT
At Olive & Ash, I believe healing begins when a person feels safe enough to be fully known. Many of the clients I work with come carrying stories marked by pain, loss, confusion, or betrayal—and often a deep longing for peace and stability. My role is to offer a calm, compassionate presence as you make sense of what you’re experiencing and begin the work of restoration.
I consider it a privilege to walk alongside people during some of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and respected, without judgment or pressure. Therapy is not about fixing you—it is about helping you reconnect with your strength, your worth, and the hope that may feel buried beneath the weight of what you’ve endured.

Marcus Curry
LPC-S, CSAT
Many of the people I work with are carrying burdens they have kept private for a long time — painful relational patterns, compulsive behaviors, betrayal, or trauma that has quietly shaped their sense of self and their closest relationships. I consider it a genuine privilege to enter that space with someone and offer steady, compassionate, and professionally grounded care.
My approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems Therapy, and trauma-informed modalities including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). My goal is not to rush the process or prescribe easy answers. It is to create an environment where you feel safe enough to be honest — about your story, your struggles, and your hopes — and to work collaboratively toward meaningful change.

MA, LPC
I am passionate about providing clinically excellent, evidenced-based counseling that thoughtfully integrates faith for clients who wish to incorporate spirituality into their therapeutic experience. I work with a diverse range of clients, including children (10 and up), adolescents, individuals, and couples/families. I especially enjoy working with women navigating women’s health concerns (such as infertility, prenatal/postpartum challenges, hormonal changes, and parenting), and those involved in ministry—supporting pastors and their families in maintaining emotional health and sustainability.
