Education

New Clients

As a clinical psychologist, I work with pre-teens, teenagers, individuals, couples, and families guiding them out of confusion and pain and helping them create a new framework for their lives. I specialize in:

Dr. Olson has a unique gift for helping people determine the heart of the problem, then guiding them in developing strategies to address those problems.

There aren’t really words to describe how caring, compassionate, humble and wise this man is. He is also a person who stands up for truth and justice. He is one of those people who you just want to be with because so much of what he has to say is full of wisdom. On top of it all, he LOVES what he does and he is AMAZING at it and he isn’t afraid to say that he thinks he does a pretty good job, too.

As a woman I felt uncomfortable going to a male counselor thinking that he could never get it, but I have been pleasantly surprised and the experience has been healing. Throughout my time in seeing him I can see a visible change in the people leaving his office. He has taught me valuable lessons that have added value to my life beyond measure. His priorities in his career life are beyond admirable.

Doctor Olson has helped our family for many years. My kids are all adopted from the foster system and as such each has their own unique trauma. We started with one kid, and then ended up in marriage counseling, and then Dr. Olson helped us navigate 3 more kids and my own loss when my husband died. My kids all quote Dr. Olson frequently and I honestly don’t know where we would be if it wasn’t for the powerful tools he gave us and lessons he taught us.
