Getting to know Lucia Thomas Olson

I have a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. I have an undergraduate degree in English at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts and have a PhD in English Literature from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have training in DBT, RO-DBT, ACT, and attachment-focused therapy modalities. I also have trained with the Affirmative Couch in working with LGBTQ adolescents and adults. I have completed EMDR training through HAP International. I work with clients of all ages, including clients with depression and anxiety, eating disorders, postpartum depression, self-harming behaviors, clients on the autism spectrum, and clients going through a divorce and engaging in co-parenting. I also work with clients who have experienced narcissistic abuse from family members or a partner.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Clients who leave sessions with me knowing themselves better, with an increase in self-compassion, and clarity about what type of life they want to lead. Client who meet with me will feel more empowered in their lives and life choices.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Lucia is a thoughtful and affirming listener - somehow even the way she shakes her head when hearing me recount something terrible makes me feel like she cares. She also seems more LGBTQ-savvy than most providers (e.g. sounded like she was familiar with asexual spectrum identities) and she was able to give a referral for a center that offers evaluations for autism.
