Ashley Olson

I have over a decade of experience in social work, bringing a warm, grounded, and compassionate approach to telehealth practice. My clinical background spans from hospitals, hospice, the Alzheimer's Association, HIV & AIDS, to pediatric burn care — giving me a rich understanding of how people navigate crisis, grief, and life transitions. I have spent many years working with adults and seniors, with a broader commitment to serving underserved and marginalized communities. I earned a Master of Social Work (MSW) at Arizona State University, and a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree at Tulane University where I conducted research regarding LGBTQ+ health and mental health outcomes. I am active in the HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ+ advocacy community.

Whether you're facing a major life change, coping with loss, managing a chronic condition, or simply seeking support, I am dedicated to meeting you where you are and walking alongside you toward healing and growth.

Your first session with me is a chance to get acquainted in a warm, low-pressure environment. I will take time to learn about your background, what's brought you to therapy, and what you're hoping to work toward — blending a gentle assessment with genuine conversation. There's no need to have it all figured out before you arrive; My goal is simply to make sure you leave feeling truly heard and understood, with a clearer sense that you've found a safe space to begin your journey.
