Meet Dean Olsen
CMHC Intern
I am a dedicated therapist specializing in addiction recovery, family systems, and personal development. My practice is deeply rooted in evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoeducational groups, and Bowenian family therapy, with a primary focus on helping individuals and families impacted by addiction.
Through personalized addiction counseling, I work with clients to address the underlying causes of substance abuse and develop effective coping strategies. I emphasize the importance of holistic healing, which includes addressing relational dynamics and mental health concerns, and fostering a supportive environment for sustained recovery. My goal is to empower clients to reclaim their lives, develop healthier habits, and build stronger connections with their loved ones.
In addition to one-on-one counseling, I facilitate psychoeducational groups that provide participants with vital information, peer support, and practical tools to overcome addiction. These groups help clients develop self-awareness, accountability, and resilience while creating a sense of community that is essential for long-term sobriety.
In addition to individual and family counseling, I offer parenting classes designed to empower caregivers with the tools and strategies they need to foster healthy family dynamics. I created “The Founding Fathers” parenting program, specifically designed to help families develop more robust, meaningful connections with their children while promoting positive, authoritative parenting techniques. This program provides both education and support to families navigating the complexities of modern parenting.
Whether you are seeking support for addiction recovery, improving family relationships, or achieving personal growth, I provide a safe, empathetic space to guide you through your unique challenges toward lasting transformation.
