Connection to our authentic Self and to other’s authentic Selves is what helps us heal. I’m Brendon Olson, founder of New Connections Therapy where the motto is “Connect. Heal. Live.” I believe that symptoms of mental health and addiction may have some biological origins but are most often coming from well-meaning protector parts of us that are functioning to help us prevent or disconnect from our pain. I help you find your true, authentic Self so you can connect with and heal the pain and lead your well-meaning protector parts into taking healthier roles. I work with the internal system of your mind, not just your symptoms.

"My ideal client is turning their focus to personal growth and healing. We all deserve a meaningful life"... Life is too short to let the past control you, the future to cause fear, to engage in bad relationships, or continuing unhealthy patterns keeping you from happiness. My wish for you is to find meaning in your life, solutions to your problems, while letting go of pain and anxiety. I do not view therapy as a one way street, where you take the role of "listener", and I of "expert". I believe all my clients are the true experts of their lives, and have solutions and hidden strengths to overcome "any and all" challenges.
