Frances Olson

How are you? New clients often respond, I feel lost...empty inside, I'm mad and hurt, or I don't know who I am, what's wrong with me?" Frequently, I hear how stupid or embarrassed they feel even asking for help, but these feelings aren't necessary. When overwhelmed, it shows intelligence and courage to seek help. I provide a safe, confidential, comfortable environment where you can speak and heal without fear. Frances Olson is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, an LPC, and an NCC. Her professional interests include dual-diagnosis, relationships, abuse, and GLBT issues.

Research consistently finds the most effective method of treating mental health/substance abuse is the combination of therapy and medication. The Olson Psychotherapy office is located within Inroads Residential Treatment Center, offering clients an integrated range of services. Outpatient, intensive-outpatient, substance evaluations, day programs, and residential treatment options are available.
