My Approach to Helping
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.

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,
