As a psychotherapy resident, I bring a unique blend of cultural understanding and professional experience to my practice. Being a first-generation immigrant, I intimately understand how culture, language, and systemic factors can shape our mental health experiences. This insight not only informs my practice but also allows me to create a safe, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported, whether you are facing depression, anxiety, stress, life transitions, or low self-esteem.

For many people, emotions are like a 'check engine' light: they suddenly appear and might not make sense. What follows is a search and some action (like seeing a therapist) to shut off this warning signal. But, what if things like stress and inflammation are actually driving your life? Depression warning of exhaustion and collapse. Anxiety signalling disconnection and a lack of support. I specialize in assessing and treating these body-mind interactions. But, it's easier to think of me like your co-pilot. I may propose small course corrections, but mostly to help you navigate towards your intended destination!

You’re the one who holds it together—until it starts to crack. On the outside, you’re functioning, reliable, and “fine.” On the inside, you’re overwhelmed, anxious, irritable, or shutting down. I work with children (10+), women, and men navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. Many feel stuck in patterns they don’t understand or can’t break, often questioning why the same struggles keep showing up in relationships, emotions, or daily life. Together, we uncover what’s driving these patterns, connect them to your experiences, and build practical ways to cope, respond differently, and feel more in control.

Accepting New Clients - Please see my website to book a session. I’m Brendon Olson of New Connections Therapy. I believe that symptoms of mental health, addiction and behavioral problems 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. In my non-pathologizing approach, I help you find your authentic Self and help you get to the bottom of the issue instead of merely focusing on the symptoms. Healing from underlying pain frees your system up to not have to be stuck with symptoms and behaviors of pain management.

Through all my personal and professional experience it seems that the foundation for much of our suffering and of our healing is in the context of our relationships with each other. I have found that exploring and unpacking our relationship experience and expectations provides new pathways for healing. I love seeing people's excitement and relief as they better understand the thoughts and feelings of their family, their community, and even their own selves. May we find more hope together. Together may we find your pathways home.

Sitting in the silence while our thoughts are screaming. Feeling as though you are still on the outside but everything is spinning out of control on the inside. We all have felt the chaos of life. Often just having a space to unpack everything we are thinking and feeling can make all the difference and a needed shift. I am an absolute believer in change, growth, and goal achievement. Change and growth is a process, and when given the opportunity I create breathing room for individuals to identify their challenges, their strengths, their needs, and their wants; supporting them through that journey of self discovery and affirmation.

The worry never quiets down, and lately it feels like the ground beneath you keeps shifting. Maybe there is a new medical diagnosis you don't know how to carry, or a family member moving into care or nearing the end of their life and you simply don't know what comes next. Maybe there was a traumatic event you can't seem to move past.
Healing from trauma, grief, or other stressors can take more than talking through it. Using somatic, body-based approaches techniques, influenced by CBT, EMDR, narrative and parts therapy, we work to settle your nervous system and process what you're carrying mentally & physically.
