Getting to know Scott Olson

Scott has worked across all populations since earning his Masters in Counseling in 2010. He prides himself on building rapport quickly as a means of choosing which treatment modality best suits his clientele, whether they prefer an in-depth analytical approach, a narrative exploration of their path, a motivational style to combat maladaptive behaviors, but by and large, it should feel like a comfortable and collaborative conversation. His approach is highly empathic, built upon years of working within complicated family dynamics and unexpected stressors.
