With nearly 20 years of experience in the field of children’s mental health, I understand the many challenges kids and families face today. I approach therapy with the firm belief that given the right tools and support, every child can build confidence and move toward a healthier, happier future.

I enjoy working with elementary through high-school students. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, and helping youth navigate family changes and other stressors. Building a safe and supportive relationship is at the heart of my work. My therapeutic style is genuine, reflective, and creative, with a healthy dose of humor, especially when I’m working with teens.

Having worked for many years as a mental health clinician in the schools, I understand the impact mental health challenges can have on a child’s overall learning and success in the classroom. I’m passionate about empowering families to partner with schools so that each child’s learning is supported alongside their social and emotional growth.

Kim Olson, MA, LPCC

Location: Wayzata

Back to all Therapists

  • In addition to being a licensed therapist, I am also a credentialed art therapist. Integrating art and therapy is a wonderful tool for helping clients explore and process feelings and experiences when words are difficult to find.
  • I often incorporate activities, art, and play to make therapy fun and useful so kids can carry their new skills into daily life, at home and at school. 
  • I like to spend my free time being silly with my two young sons, drawing, crafting, creating collages, and curling up with a good book.
