Mark your calendars for the November Olson Hour!!!🗓️

To help supplement and expand your clinical and professional education, the faculty have decided to start offering a monthly, virtual educational forum—The Olson Hour! The Olson Hour gives the faculty a vehicle through which they can develop new learning opportunities for students that can be accessed outside of and in addition to traditional course offerings.

Generally, The Olson Hour will be held over Zoom from 12pm-1pm on the third Thursday of the month! You are strongly encouraged to attend The Olson Hour, however we plan to also record each forum; the trainings will be made available after the event within Teams.

In November, the Olson Hour will be held on Thursday November 20th from 12pm-1pm. Students in the program are required to develop their own theory of therapy, so for this Olson Hour, Dr. McPhee will shed light on his personal model of couples therapy 💡

The Zoom link will be sent out via email by our very own Makenzie. If you are not a current student and would like join the Olson Hour, private message us so we can get you the information!

See you on November 20th!!!!

Friday is for FUN so let’s meet the wonderful Sheena!

“We’re all capable of the most incredible change. We can evolve while still staying true to who we are. We can honor who we’ve been and choose who we want to be next. Now’s your chance.” The Thirteenth Doctor, The Woman Who Fell to Earth

Sheena graduated from Mount Mercy University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work with a minor in Psychology. Her journey into the field has been shaped through experiences working with individuals, couples, children, and families in various settings, including the education system, community mental health, and providing direct care.

At the heart of Sheena’s approach is a deep belief in authentic connection and the sustaining power of hope. She strives to create a space that is collaborative and rooted in curiosity, where clients can feel safe, heard, and free to be their full selves. She believes that everyone has the capacity for growth and is honored to walk alongside clients on their unique paths of self-discovery.

She is particularly interested in supporting clients as they face life transitions, heal from grief and trauma, and explore neurodivergent perspectives. Working from a systemic and strengths-based perspective, she helps clients explore their stories and facilitate transformation. With humor, empathy, and compassion, she supports them through life’s challenges, recognizing that healing often comes from being seen and accepted, and that laughter can be just as powerful as tears in the process of growth.
