Who we are
Hi there! I’m Michele Bowne, LCSW-C. I started Olive Branch Wellness with the belief that healing happens best in a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Life can bring so many challenges—stress, loss, trauma, uncertainty—and sometimes we all need a safe place to sort through it, at our own pace, with someone walking alongside us.
My approach is holistic, which means I look at the whole picture: mind, body, and spirit. I use trauma-informed practices to honor your unique experiences while also weaving in tools that help you feel more grounded, balanced, and connected to yourself.
At Olive Branch Wellness, there’s no judgment and no pressure—just compassion, curiosity, and a commitment to supporting your growth. Whether you’re hoping to heal old wounds, navigate a difficult season, or simply reconnect with who you are, this is a place where you don’t have to do it alone.
What we do
At Olive Branch Wellness, we offer online therapy (telehealth) for individuals living in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Massachusetts. Therapy from the comfort of your own home makes it easier to fit care into your life without the added stress of commuting or juggling schedules.
Our work is rooted in trauma-informed care, which means we recognize how past experiences can shape the present—and we approach every session with compassion, safety, and respect. You’ll never be pushed to share more than you’re ready for. Instead, we’ll move at your pace, exploring tools and strategies that help you feel grounded, supported, and empowered.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, trauma, or simply seeking greater balance and connection, therapy at Olive Branch Wellness is designed to meet you where you are and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.
Our Values
At Olive Branch Wellness, our work is guided by core values that come from both the NASW Code of Ethics and our own belief in creating a safe, compassionate space for healing. These values shape how we show up for every person we work with:
Dignity & Worth of the Person – We believe every individual deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and care. Your story matters, and you matter.
Service – Our commitment is to support you with the highest level of care, meeting you where you are and walking alongside you in your healing journey.
Integrity – We value honesty and transparency, building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and authenticity.
Competence – We continue learning and growing so we can offer the most effective, evidence-based, and holistic approaches to support your wellness.
Human Relationships – Healing happens in connection. We honor the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the connections you have with others in your life.
Social Justice – We are committed to inclusivity and equity, ensuring this is a space where all are welcome and where diverse identities, backgrounds, and experiences are respected.
These values aren’t just words—they are the foundation of how we practice, ensuring that every step of your journey with us is grounded in respect, compassion, and care..
Who we work with
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to face it alone. At Olive Branch Wellness, we work with people who are navigating a wide range of challenges, including:
Anxiety & OCD – Finding ways to quiet racing thoughts, manage intrusive patterns, and feel more at ease in daily life.
Depression – Supporting you through feelings of sadness, emptiness, or lack of motivation, while helping you reconnect with meaning and hope.
Grief & Loss – Walking beside you as you process the pain of loss and learn to carry it with compassion for yourself.
Trauma – Providing a safe, trauma-informed space to gently explore and heal from past experiences without judgment or pressure.
Life Transitions – Helping you adjust to the changes, big or small, that can leave you feeling unsteady or uncertain.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) – Offering care that emphasizes understanding, stability, and tools for managing emotions and relationships.
We provide therapy for teens (13+), adults, and older adults, recognizing that each stage of life brings its own challenges and opportunities for growth. For teens, therapy can be a safe space to navigate stress, identity, relationships, and big emotions, while also giving parents peace of mind knowing their child has support. For adults and older adults, we focus on building resilience, processing life’s experiences, and finding balance at every stage.
At Olive Branch Wellness, we are here to walk beside you—wherever you are in life’s journey
