Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With degrees in neuroscience and clinical health psychology, I am passionate about and highly familiar with the links between our brains, our bodies, and our mental and emotional experiences, and I feel deeply privileged to have a career in which I get to share this important knowledge and helping others feel less alone in their journeys. I help individuals and couples with relationship problems like conflict, betrayal, loneliness, and estrangement, as well as the difficult feelings these problems bring. I also specialize in stress and trauma and am passionate about helping people make sense of highly stressful life events. I also love physical activity and strongly believe our mental health is holistic, and we take care of our minds and hearts by taking care of our bodies.
Above all else, my mission is to show up for you as a fellow human who cares about your story and is truly paying attention. Combined with a decade of clinical expertise, I prioritize warmth, authenticity, humor, and kindness. I won’t just sit there and nod. With me, you can expect individual therapy and marital therapy that is quality, research-backed, and tailored to your needs. I strive to be the kind of therapist that I always wanted as a client: someone willing to dive deep and offer enthusiasm and encouragement along the way. You deserve nothing less. see myself as a collaborator, a fellow human who gets what it’s like to struggle and can offer feedback, celebrate your strengths, and help you reach a better understanding of yourself and others. I also value your input and feedback throughout therapy so I can make sure I deliver what you are needing.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
I have been a psychologist in trauma work for many years, thus I can tailor my approach to meet your needs. Different ages and developmental stages throughout the life span require differing approaches. People generally wait to start therapy until their symptoms are really bothersome. I am currently accepting new patients, with no waiting list.

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
I specialize in trauma therapy, PTSD, relationship issues, sexual concerns, body image, self-esteem, stress, and nervous system dysregulation. Many of the clients I work with feel stuck in patterns that affect their relationships, self-worth, or ability to feel grounded in their body and daily life. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, blending talk therapy with emotional processing and mind-body awareness to support meaningful and sustainable change.
In our work together, I focus on creating a safe and collaborative space where we can slow down and understand the deeper roots of what you’re experiencing. This often includes exploring how past experiences, stress responses, and relationship patterns are affecting you now. I will help you in healing the past and reducing worry about the future, so you can find more joy and peace in the present moment. Sessions will go at your pace and be personalized to your needs, with an emphasis on building self-trust, emotional regulation, and greater ease in your life. I'm always happy to talk more about how my approach can help with your specific concerns. Feel free to contact me to schedule a free 15 minute consultation!

Lexington sits at the center of Kentucky's Bluegrass region with a character distinct from Louisville — the University of Kentucky drives a significant student and young professional population alongside a traditional agricultural and equestrian community. The city's proximity to Appalachia means therapists frequently encounter the mental health effects of the region's opioid crisis, intergenerational poverty, and community grief tied to economic decline. UK HealthCare — the University of Kentucky's academic medical system — provides institutional mental health resources, with private practices concentrated in Chevy Chase, Beaumont, and Hamburg Pavilion. Lexington's horse industry also supports a niche clientele of equestrian athletes and industry professionals navigating performance pressure and career identity.
