Living with chronic pain can feel lonely, overwhelming, and exhausting—especially after tests, treatments, and specialists haven’t brought relief. You've likely done your own research, searching for answers, which led you to Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). PRT is an evidence-based approach that helps retrain the brain’s response to pain. Together, we’ll explore what drives your pain, learn how to turn down the pain volume, reduce its impact, rebuild trust in your body, and create new patterns that support lasting change.

Welcome! I am a Registered Counselling Therapist providing support based on the belief that wellness includes connection between mind and body.

I work with adults and couples impacted by trauma, addiction, and relationship distress. Many clients feel stuck in patterns that are hard to break. This may show up for you as substance use, excessive porn, emotion dysregulation, conflict, or general disconnection with your partner. Often these struggles are connected, not separate issues. My role is to not only help you understand what is driving these compulsions or attachment wounds, but to offer practical coping strategies to help you initiate & sustain change. We will examine your particular cycles and develop tools to improve your mental health, behaviors, and relationships.

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.
