Welcome! I’m Donna Olsen, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Beacon of Strength Mental Health Services. With over seven years of experience as a therapist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life’s toughest challenges with compassion and understanding. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, and I draw from evidence-based practices like Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), especially when working with trauma survivors.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and crisis intervention. My experience also includes working with children and families, having provided therapy at Naytahwaush Community Charter School, where I supported clients through abuse, trauma, and crisis situations. Additionally, I bring my background as a chemical dependency counselor into my practice,
At Beacon of Strength, I aim to create a safe and empowering space for every client. I am passionate about working with diverse populations, having spent years in service to Native communities, and believe that cultural sensitivity and understanding are key to impactful therapy. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with mental health issues,
