Imagine stepping out of survival mode and into a life where your mind feels quieter, your body feels safe, and you trust yourself to handle whatever comes next.
Healing isn't about being 'fixed' - it's about reconnecting with the wisdom and strength you already possess so you can live fully aligned.
Trauma-Informed Counselor & Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Practitioner
Individual therapy & clinical supervision provided by Nicole Olsen, MS, LPCC
Providing in-person therapy in Mankato, MN and telehealth counseling across Minnesota
With 15 years in the mental health field, my practice is focused on supporting teens and adults who are motivated to look inward, calm an overactive nervous system, and rebuild trust in themselves:
Adolescents (ages 16+): Finding your own voice when the pressure to do everything right starts to feel too heavy
Adults: Support for processing painful memories, navigating deep grief or loss, and learning how to be kinder to yourself every day
Older Adults: Making sense of big life changes, health shifts, and grief while honoring your story and what matters most to you today
My practice centers around these core areas of healing, growth, and skill-building:
Trauma & PTSD: Support for processing past painful events and helping your body and mind feel safe in the present
Grief & Loss: Honoring the emotional and physical weight of loss, giving you space to process at your own pace and find stability after your world has shifted
Relational Stress: Navigating challenging family patterns, setting boundaries, and building secure, healthy connections
Self-Worth & Identity: Transforming how you relate to yourself and reclaiming your confidence
Eating Disorders & Body Image: Supporting your recovery and fostering emotional well-being
Personal Development: Building the coping skills and resilience needed for lasting growth
Featured Approach: Rapid Relief with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Stuck in painful memories, anxiety, or physical stress? ART uses eye movements to help your brain process trauma and calm your nervous system without having to share every uncomfortable detail out loud. Many clients experience meaningful relief in as few as 1 to 5 sessions.
Therapy is personal. Finding it should be too.
Therapy is personal. Finding it should be too.
Searching for a therapist can be a lot - endless lists, confusing terms, and dozens of bios that all start to sound the same. Anchored & Aligned Counseling is intentionally small so I can focus on you. When you reach out, you're connecting directly with me, and if we decide we're a good fit, I'm the person you'll work with. No automated phone systems, no getting passed around to strangers, and no guessing who you'll be matched with. Just a human-to-human connection in a steady space to catch your breath and figure out what's next.
