About Amity Olson, LCSW

I help exhausted women reclaim their authentic selves.

I'm Amity Olson, LCSW, and I help exhausted women claim their authenticity and break the cycle of shame and judgment they experience for simply being who they are.

My approach is conversational and unfiltered. In our work together, we will laugh, hold ourselves and each other accountable, cuss (a lot), and show up for you — because healing doesn't have to feel clinical and cold to be real.

I bring lived experience to this work, too — including raising a child with food allergies and my own experience with anxiety. I don't just understand these struggles clinically; I've lived pieces of them.

I'm moving my practice toward an Intensives-only model: structured, focused EMDR work instead of an open-ended weekly caseload. It's a better fit for how real change actually happens, and for the exhausted, high-achieving women I work with who don't have room in their lives for another standing weekly appointment.
