Coleen Olsson

Hello! I’m Coleen, and I’m dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based care to my clients. With a strong educational foundation, holding a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh, I’ve honed my skills through nearly twenty years of experience in the mental health field.

My professional journey began while interning in child and adolescent community-based mental health programs where I learned the fundamentals of working together to form a therapeutic alliance and navigate the family and community dynamics involved. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, ranging from residential treatment to a different type of community-based mental health program, to outpatient clinics, where I spent 15 years helping my clients through in-person sessions, then transitioning to the virtual model.

I've specialized in providing trauma-informed care to my clients, and have studied several different models, so that we can …collaboratively tailor our approach to what is most effective for you. I’m particularly passionate about self-care, meditation and mindfulness, and I find ways to integrate such helpful skills into the work that we do together. My approach is client-centered, ensuring that each individual’s unique needs and goals are at the forefront of our collaborative treatment plan.

Clients can expect a supportive and empowering environment in sessions with me. My approach is centered on active listening, understanding individual needs, and fostering a space where clients feel comfortable to explore and grow. Here’s a brief overview:

Goals & Outcomes:

Personalized Growth Plans: Tailored strategies to meet your unique goals.

Skill Development: Tools and techniques to enhance personal and professional skills.

Increased Self-Awareness: Insights into personal patterns and behaviors.

Environment:

Non-Judgmental Space: A safe place to share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Collaborative Atmosphere: Working together to uncover solutions and pathways forward.

Encouragement & Motivation: Continuous support to help you stay focused and inspired.

Each session is a step towards self-improvement and achieving the outcomes that matter most to you.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you on your path to well-being.
