Getting to know Brian Olden

Thank you for contacting me and for the privilege of working with you. My name is Brian Olden, a Clinical Social Worker in California. I want to commend you for taking this first important step in identifying and tackling the issues that are troubling you. At times, when issues pile up on us, it can feel overwhelming, and it may seem difficult to know where to start. That's where I can be of assistance. As a licensed clinical professional, I can help you prioritize the issues concerning you, identify short- and long-term goals, and develop effective strategies to help you cope with and even resolve these stressors. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. My therapeutic approach with clients is compassionate, non-judgmental, and solution-focused. The most frequent theoretical approaches I apply to therapy are Cognitive Behavioral and Cognitive Processing Therapy models, which provide education and solution-based methods to improving well-being. I have worked with adults, including older adults and Veterans, couples, children, and adolescents. I most frequently treat people with anxiety and/or depression, stress related to changes in life situations, trauma symptoms, and problems with adjustment. I make every attempt to create a comfortable, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment where I can assure a client's safety and confidentiality to work on life issues together. Most clients I have worked with have stated that they feel safe and confident that they are working with a skilled and experienced clinician. In my early adulthood, I discovered that I wanted my life to be one of service to others. My first Master's degree is in public health, and then I decided I wanted a clinical credential so that I could work directly with individuals.
