Hi, I’m Dr. Susan Ollar,
I have been fortunate to have discovered my life’s passion as a teen in high school, through my first psychology class in my junior year. When my two children were in elementary school I was able to set goals for a rewarding career as a clinical psychologist. I spent the next eight years at the University of Colorado at Boulder completing my undergraduate degree followed by a Master’s Degree and Doctoral Degree (PhD) in Clinical Psychology.
I spent the first seven years of my 35 year career working in hospital settings as well as private practice where I was privileged to gain experience working with people needing help with long term illness and injury recovery, mental health struggles and problems managing transitions and loss. I have benefitted from the depth of my experience during my years of hospital work, throughout my career as a Licensed Psychologist.
Education

How I Can Help You
I work with teenagers (16 and up) and adults of all ages. I am a dedicated Medicare provider and also work with out-of-network patients whose insurance may offer partial reimbursement.
Individual Therapy
One-hour therapy sessions focused on treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders like Bipolar Disorder, and the lasting effects of trauma. Each session is designed to give you enough time to fully address what's on your mind.
Diagnostic Evaluations
A comprehensive evaluation that includes a clinical interview, standardized assessments, and a formal diagnosis with a personalized treatment plan. These can be self-initiated or requested by your physician or psychiatrist.
Medication Coordination
While I don't prescribe medications, I work closely with your primary care physician or psychiatrist to ensure any prescribed medications align with your therapy goals, and I'm available to help educate you on available options, their uses, and side effects before making that referral.
