Welcome! My name is Lisa D. Olson, LMHC and Owner of Compassionate Care Counseling.
Do you struggle to have your voice heard and ask for what you need? Do you often say yes, when you really mean no? Are relationships important to you but somehow you feel dissatisfied, frustrated, or stuck? Do you often end up taking on more than your fair share? If you desire a change or adjustment in your relationships, work, or career, but don’t know how to transition and achieve what you truly want, I’m here to help.
We are multi-dimensional beings, so change is often difficult to address on our own. As a seasoned therapist, I am deeply committed to helping you untangle some of this complexity to help you find a clear direction and path forward. I provide each and every client with a specialized experience that honors their whole person. This includes their lived experiences, the intertwined systems which impact their lives, their core values, their belief systems and their intersecting identities. It’s important to me to work collaboratively, with humility and transparency to provide soulful solutions that are attuned, that resonate, and expand the capacity to live a life with more clarity, purpose, intention and enjoyment.
I offer in-person and telehealth /virtual appointments. I am currently offering a limited waitlist for new clients.

About Me
I graduated with my MS degree from a CACREP Mental Health Counseling program in the area of Applied Psychology in 2005. I’ve been practicing mental health counseling full-time for 19 years. Throughout my career, I have received training in Attachment Theory, Circle of Security, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Personality, Clinical Supervision, EMDR, and much more. I have significant experience working with women’s issues, intimate relationship concerns, family issues, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, performance anxiety, caregiver burnout, sleep issues, grief/loss, trauma, and existential concerns.

Approach
I tailor my approach depending on the client’s needs, sensitivities, and what fits best for their unique system and worldview. I firmly believe that YOU are the expert on your own life, and I will honor your needs with support, balanced with clinical expertise and guidance. I work collaboratively with my clients to promote their agency and their voice, while I am also able to provide clear recommendations and useful information to assist with problem solving. I specialize in working with adults and late teens.
