Krista Olson

Krista Olson, MSW grounds her work in being authentic and intentional in her presence with others. She describes herself in therapy as authentic, safe, insightful, present, grounded, deeply intuitive, non judgmental, honest, open-hearted and someone who “walks their talk”. Her clients see her as a therapist that they can journey through challenging experiences with, while also having a good laugh along the way. She loves the simplicity, practicality and effectiveness of the Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, which she believes give people the tools to take action in building their best life.
