Overview
I chose psychiatry because I feel psychiatric illnesses can be the most painful of any medical illness, and I chose a career in medicine primarily to help with people’s pain. The most rewarding part of my practice is helping my patient get through their struggle whether it’s with depression, addiction, anxiety, attention, or memory...that is very rewarding. It’s not unknown for me to share a fist bump when a patient overcomes a particular struggle or life challenge.
His clinical expertise encompasses Bipolar Disorder (BPD), Major Depression, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
Dr. Olsen is board certified in Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. He is actively involved in clinical research, co-authoring 2 peer reviewed articles. Dr. Olsen is currently accepting new patients.
