Meet the founder

Olivia L. Baylor, LCPC, NCC, BC-TMH, CFMHE, RYT-200

My Mental Health University was founded by Olivia L. Baylor, a multi-state licensed clinician, clinical supervisor, and forensic evaluator with over 15 years of experience in criminal justice, therapy, education, systems work, and clinical training.

She’s trained and supervised clinicians across the U.S., conducted hundreds of immigration and forensic evaluations, and developed a wide range of therapeutic programs for couples, families, and communities.

She’s trained and supervised clinicians across the U.S., conducted hundreds of immigration and forensic evaluations, and developed a wide range of therapeutic programs for couples, families, and communities.

She’s also a mother, a homeschool educator, and a business owner, deeply invested in what sustainable growth, integrity, and care look like across all areas of professional life.

Olivia started MHU because she saw the gap between what professionals are taught and what they’re actually asked to do. She wanted to create something that filled that gap with clarity, support, and excellence.

Our Philosophy

Education should be:

• Applicable – You should leave every course saying, “I know how to use this tomorrow.”

• Culturally aware – Trainings must reflect the identities, histories, and lived realities of our clients and ourselves.

• Ethically grounded – No fluff, no shortcuts, and no question where the standard stands.

• Professionally affirming – You should grow your practice, not just your CE folder.

Who We Serve

• Licensed clinicians seeking confidence and clinical depth

• New professionals preparing for private practice or supervision

• Coaches, educators, and clergy working in community care roles

• Trainers and interns looking to improve the way they teach and serve

• Anyone committed to learning with intention and applying it with integrity

What We Offer

• NBCC-approved CEUs.

• Self-paced, accessible online learning.

• Hands-on tools: templates, scripts, clinical guides.

• A growing resource library and provider directory (coming soon).

• Specialized topics like immigration evaluations, premarital counseling, trauma-informed systems care, and homeschooling family support.

Where We’re Going

Right now, MHU is starting small, but it’s built to grow. As we expand, we’ll welcome other experts, guest instructors, and community contributors who reflect our mission and values. We are creating a space where diverse professionals can teach, learn, and lead, together. A space where CEUs aren’t just required, they’re respected.

Let’s Grow Together

Whether you’re looking for your next CE course, your next referral partner, or your next chance to teach, we’re glad you’re here. This work is serious. It’s layered. And it’s deeply human. Let’s keep learning in a way that reflects all of that.
