Oliver Birchwood-Glover, LICSW, NCAC II
Program Director
Oliver discovered his lifelong interest in working for community well-being and helping others as a young child, following his mother and his grandmother as they pursued their involvement with community engagement and volunteerism. His avid interest in others and the world around him led to undergraduate studies in International Affairs and political science.
After a few gap years Oliver returned to graduate school and completed a Master’s degree in Social Work (MSW) from New York University in 1993. He continued with two years of post graduate studies at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis (1993-1995) while also learning motivational interviewing and teaching about the stages of change and recovery for 6 ½ years at New Directions (1993-2000) in Brooklyn, NY, where he also participated in the curriculum development of an introduction to recovery class. “These were very busy years for me in terms of school, the number of people I was working with, but also in terms of how I was learning to support peers working on making changes in their lives.”
Since those days in Brooklyn Oliver has successfully completed the University of Washington - Harborview Trauma Center’s TF-CBT+ Learning Collaborative as a provider and as a supervisor (Year I). He graduated to Co-Consultant role for the 2020-2021 Learning Cohort (Year II) and will be a Leading Consultant and trainee Trainer for the 2021-2022 Learning (Year III) Collaborative series.
In his free time Oliver is a very proud father to his son, an avid Gentleman Farmer on his hobby farm of heirloom vegetables, chickens (and their eggs), warmblood horses and a Canadian goose who reigns supreme over the Farm. “Over the course of 14 years 125 trees and shrubs have been planted on the property. We are here to stay.”
