Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already navigating stress, uncertainty, or emotional pain. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your child, you don’t have to face these challenges alone. I strive to offer a welcoming, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and be met with compassion. I provide Counselling to individuals across the lifespan, working with children, adolescents, and adults. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and I’m passionate about collaborating with each client to find an approach that best suits their unique needs, strengths, and goals.

You’re the one people rely on, and you’ve gotten really good at pushing through even when you’re overwhelmed. But you’re exhausted, and feeling disconnected from your relationships, your passions, and yourself. Whether you’re carrying trauma, burnout, or stress that’s affecting your outlook on life, you don’t have to hold it alone. Together, we’ll slow things down so you can feel more grounded, connected, and like yourself again. I use evidence-based therapies like EMDR, IFS, DBT & CBT to support individuals and couples through high-stress careers (eg: nurses, first responders, military personnel), trauma, and big life transitions.

It can be incredibly difficult to watch a child or teen struggle — whether they are navigating anxiety, intense or overwhelming emotions, grief or loss, fear, anger, major life transitions, or challenges with learning and relationships at school. You may notice your child feeling stressed, withdrawn, sad, or anxious, and unsure how to express or even identify what they are feeling. These experiences can be confusing and isolating, both for young people and for the families who care about them.

You've spent your career running toward what others run away from. Now the calls, the deployments, or the shifts are following you home: into your sleep, your patience, your relationships.
I'm a registered counselling therapist at Harbourlight Mental Health Centre, and most of my work is with first responders, veterans, military members, and corrections officers living with trauma and PTSD. I understand the culture you work in: the humour, the pressure to hold it together, and the worry about what asking for help might mean for your career.

When we feel afraid, confused, overwhelmed, and alone, it can seem impossible to find our way. One of my favourite things about counselling is that it can help us remember ourselves – what we like, and what we don't like, what we're good at, what's important, and especially that we're capable. We're kind of neat.

Welcome. I am so glad you are here. I am Krista Olson, Registered Social Worker, and proud member of the Psychotherapy for You team. I honor the courage and vulnerability it takes to ask for help and to truly look at ourselves. It is a privilege to hold safe, meaningful space and collaborate with clients in the often delicate process of self exploration, experiential healing, and growth. I would love the opportunity to join you on your journey. I have always been fascinated by the “why” underlying human behavior and from a very young age felt a natural inclination to listen closely and understand people on a deep level.
