About Olivia Houghtaling
I am a recent graduate of the University at Buffalo, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Criminology. During my undergraduate studies, I developed a strong foundation in understanding human behavior, mental health, and the intersection of justice and equality—values that drive my career aspirations.In January 2025, I officially will begin my Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at St. Bonaventure University. This program marks the next step in my journey toward becoming a licensed clinical mental health counselor, specializing in serving forensic populations and advocating for mental health equity.Through my academic, professional, and volunteer experiences, I’ve honed interpersonal, communication, and community engagement skills. These include:• Internship Experience: Educating communities on crime prevention and supporting individuals with psychological and practical needs.• Leadership Roles: Serving as a choreographer for a college dance club and a tour guide for the University at Buffalo, where I connected with prospective students from diverse backgrounds.• Volunteer Work: Supporting initiatives like Habitat for Humanity and C-STEP, where I shared my journey as a psychology student with high school students in Buffalo.With a passion for mental health, justice, and advocacy, I aim to build a career that empowers individuals and communities, fostering resilience and well-being.
