Mitchell Olson, MA LPCC
Psychotherapist
Clinical expertise in treating individuals and couples with issues related to grief & bereavement, depression, anxiety, and trauma. Certificate training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Clinical Hypnosis (Hypnotherapy).
My Story
I spent 12 years in digital marketing and e-commerce as a small business owner before becoming a Mental Health Therapist. I decided to become a therapist after realizing that I was more interested in connecting with people and learning about their stories than attaining corporate profits. I have a Master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with the state of Minnesota. I find it deeply rewarding to help others in finding their own path and feel greatly privileged that my clients allow me to join them on their journey.
Affiliations:
Professional Experience
I enjoy working with couples and individuals addressing relationship difficulties such as infidelity/affairs, conflict and communication issues, life transitions, pre-marital counseling, relationship loss, divorce, and emotional disengagement. I also have experience working with adults facing issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, divorce/blended families, and grief.
I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), an empirically validated therapeutic approach to working with couples and relationships. The EFT approach helps reinforce attachment bonds and facilitate the creation of secure connections between partners leading to increased intimacy and fulfillment in their relationship.
I utilize Clinical Hypnosis (Hypnotherapy) to help clients feel relaxed and process trauma at a subconscious level. My training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has proven helpful in teaching Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Distress Tolerance skills.
I consider it an honor and privilege to help people grow and change in a way that is rewarding to them. My role is to create a safe space for growth, empowerment, and healing in your relationships and for yourself.

Clinician Specialties
Therapy for Depression
Are you feeling hopeless, isolated and not your usual self? You might be feeling depressed or deep despair.
Counseling for Anxiety
Is anxiety taking over your life? Does it feel like you can’t control it no matter how hard you try? Have you already tried therapy but found it ineffective?
If this sounds like you, Mindfully Healing can help. Our practice offers the most effective forms of treatment, to get relief from the anxiety that you deserve.
When it comes to treating anxiety disorders, research shows that therapy is usually the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy – as opposed to anxiety medication – treats more than just symptoms to the problem.
Counseling for Trauma
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster.
While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed.
In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
"Mindfully Healing embraces a personal growth based model unlike a problem or deficiency based model of traditional mental health... Our clients experience this during their first session."
Services and Pricing
Why Private Pay is Beneficial for Some Clients?
- Insurance does not cover relational difficulties such as couples and family therapy, they require a DSM-V diagnosis for one of the members. As a fee-for-service provider, I do not have to give you a mental health diagnosis.
- Mental health diagnoses can follow you and be documented on health records and can result in affecting life insurance applications, health insurance applications and other benefits or services.
- Together, we can determine how many times we meet instead of the insurance company making that decision.
- Since a treatment plan, notes and billing information are not being released to an insurance company, a greater amount of confidentiality is in place for you.
