Introducing Micaela Olson and our Mind and Move program!
I am a Registered Psychiatric Nurse and Certified Personal Fitness Trainer with decades of experience as a mental health therapist. I am certified in conflict mediation, emotionally focused therapy (EFT) couples’ therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational, solution focused therapy and dialectical behavioural therapy.
I want to help you live a life that you love! As a Psychiatric Nurse and Personal Fitness Trainer, I have the education and expertise to help you through all of your current struggles. I have a solid foundation in medical and medication knowledge with years of experience in helping people understand their feelings and life patterns.
I’m passionate about helping you through your life transitions. I love helping mature minor teens, adults, couples and seniors who are experiencing grief, stress, illness, chronic pain, addictions, conflict, relationship challenges, separation or divorce. I can help you navigate a new transition in life such as menopause, parenthood, marriage, empty nesting, a new job, health concerns or loss of any kind.
I believe in a holistic, approach to care where a healthy diet and lifestyle may be used to improve your overall mental health. We can work together to build understanding and skills that will help you transform your mind and body.
I have a heart full of compassion, love and acceptance for everything that life hands us. I’m genuine, kind and selfless and do my therapy with lighthearted interaction and empathy.
I can see my clients weekly, and have great flexibility with early mornings, evenings and weekends. I believe that access to care and an easy interpersonal connection is important.
Everyone struggles at times and it’s our journey that creates the most magnificent beauty of who we are. It is an honour to walk beside people as they find their path! No one technique can be labeled, but rather felt. I believe in multiple approaches to care that fit each individual. Let’s chat and choose the location, time and best therapy modality(s) for you.
Adult and Teen Therapy
50-minute sessions
You will become aware of what is holding you back and face those challenges with bravery to explore the numerous ways to deal with life challenges. Identify your areas of strength and let them take charge of what you are struggling with. Let’s integrate your mind, body and soul with your emotional, physical and spiritual hardships. You will begin to understand how you view things, how your body feels and what your patterns in life are saying to you. I believe that physical and mental health have a strong correlation to each other. We can conquer one or both avenues depending on your needs.
Couples Counselling
75-minute sessions
Using emotionally-focused therapy you will learn how to connect deeply with your partner and become closer than ever imagined. This process helps get to the root of your issues, understand your emotions and improve your communication with each other. You will discover what’s important to you by exploring the emotions at the root of your issues both individually and in your relationship.
Mediation
3-hour one-time session
Mediation is a powerful technique that can be used when tensions are high within marital conflict, parenting agreements, sibling rivalry or family feuds. I can help you find a common goal to reduce this tension and work towards a satisfying resolution for all parties involved. This technique is a one-time service that helps all parties find common ground and begin to move forward. This is not a legally binding agreement but it can help reduce expensive legal fees when presented to your legal advisors.
Personal Fitness Training
1-hour sessions
Completely customized programming tailored to your specific needs and goals during one hour long sessions.
Your initial appointment will include:
- Medical clearance conversation and assessment
- Movement, range of motion and injury analysis
- Conversation around life barriers and stressors
- Goal setting through identifying your “why”
- Assess fitness markers that align with your goals
Your overall wellbeing is important to me! During your exercise sessions, we will discuss nutritional intake, stress management, recovery and other pillars of a healthy lifestyle. It’s time to experience progress not only at the gym but in other aspects of your life, health is so much more than just one avenue!
Flexibility with scheduling is available to help you reach your goals without any added barriers! Let’s laugh, sweat and have fun together. You will leave each session feeling positive and inspired, guaranteed!
