Todd Olson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Todd!

Each of us is born with the inner resources we need to lead happy and successful lives. My specialty is helping people who grew up in dysfunctional homes heal from past traumas and embrace a positive view of themselves. This includes dealing with depression, anxiety, and addictions.

My focus

I typically work with individuals who have grown up in dysfunctional settings and struggle with low self-esteem, relationship challenges, food and other addictions, and tend to be hard on themselves. This includes working on marital/partner problems and working out family relationships.

My approach

I utilize skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Collaborative Therapy utilizing Unconditional Positive Regard, and Jungian Analysis.

My communication style

I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can share openly. I listen deeply to understand your unique experiences and perspective, and I work collaboratively with you to explore patterns and build on your strengths.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I believe deeply in people's capacity for healing and growth. I've seen how understanding our past can free us to create the future we want, and I'm honored to walk alongside clients on that journey.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what matters most to you and create practical steps toward your goals. I'll help you recognize patterns that no longer serve you, develop healthier coping strategies, and build the self-compassion needed for lasting change.

Our first session

You can expect me to do a lot of listening to understand in our initial sessions. Nothing is more important than understanding your experiences and how you have been affected by them.
