Getting to know Ruth Olson

Hi there, I'm Ruth! I'm Ruth Olson, a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. My main focus is to help clients truly heal and grow, guiding them to regain control of their lives and release the hold that the past has had on them. My approach I primarily use EMDR to help clients overcome their trauma once and for all. I also incorporate elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to support processing trauma and overcoming emotional struggles. My approach is structured yet flexible, focusing on creating safety for clients to explore their experiences and emotions. My goal is to provide tools that promote long-term healing and personal growth. My focus I work mainly with clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by past trauma, anxiety, depression, or PTSD. I love witnessing the freedom clients experience from challenges they once believed would last a lifetime, as well as supporting those seeking relief from unresolved life experiences, poor self-confidence, and negative beliefs. I'm dedicated to helping clients find freedom from these challenges. My communication style Clients can expect a safe, empathetic environment where they can move beyond their past and reclaim their lives. I foster a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space in therapy. My communication style is open, collaborative, and supportive, allowing clients to feel safe and heard during sessions. I aim to create a space where it's easy to explore difficult emotions without fear of judgment. I offer compassion while also challenging clients to face the hard things they often try to avoid.
