Hillary Rose Olson, MSW

My clients describe me as:

Compassionate, collaborative, affirming, gently challenging, and at times humorous. They know they are safe as themselves with me.

Something to know about my approach is:

I work from a holistic approach and consider you as well as the system in which you exist. My work with clients is queer-affirming, sex and body-positive, kink and polyam-aware, and anti-racist. I use a variety of modalities like CBT, ACT, and EMDR.

Together, we will:

Explore what is causing you distress and how to navigate maximizing your joy and authenticity. We'll assess your values and target patterns that keep you stuck. We will also acknowledge privilege, cultural struggles, and safety within systems.

I specialize in working with people who:

Have questions of identity development and sense of purpose, those exploring LGBTQ+ issues, people working through attachment and relational challenges, and those who are struggling with anxiety. Deconstruction and nontraditional lifestyles welcome.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My office is located in the heart of downtown Decatur. I see clients in office, in the park next door, or virtually. My space is inclusive and private
