About Us
Beacon of Strength is a mental health practice based in downtown Duluth, Minnesota, with offices throughout the Iron Range as well. Our therapists also provide telehealth services throughout the state of MN.
Founded in 2023 by Donna Olsen, LICSW, the practice has quickly grown. We provide therapy to all ages, from adolescents to elderly adults; to individuals, couples, and families. We also provide group therapy sessions for DBT and grief.
We use a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT to help clients dealing with different mental health challenges. Our therapists meet with clients in person or via telehealth, perform a Diagnostic Assessment, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
“I started my own therapy practice, because I wanted to be there for others the way my best friend was for me. I have dealt with childhood traumas well into my adult life, and it wasn’t until I met my lifetime best friend that I was able to start healing. Thinking about where I started and how far I have come, I know that growth is possible for anyone with the correct tools.”
