Services

I'm Beryl Olson, LMHCA, ATR-P, an art therapist and counselor offering creative, affirming therapy for adults and teens.

I provide telehealth throughout Washington State and specialize in supporting LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent clients struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionistic tendencies, burnout, and emotional overwhelm.

  • My approach to counseling, also known as talk therapy, is person-centered and tailored to YOU. I will always use a trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming, queer, and feminist approach to your care. I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you get in touch with your values and live the life the way you want to.

  • When it comes to talking about difficult feelings and experiences, do words ever fail you? Art therapy allows for non-verbal expression and deeper exploration.

    No prior art experience needed! Art therapy can be useful and even powerful regardless of artistic skill. Based on your needs, access to materials, and other factors, we may use drawing, painting, sculpture, creative writing, and beyond on your healing journey.
