About Me
Welcome to Jennifer Olson Relationship Therapy! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist currently based in Seattle, WA. I am here as a guide through life’s complexities, rewards, and difficulties. Understanding, accepting, and healing relationships is my passion and I care deeply about your health, your heart, your dreams, and your well-being.
With decades of experience working in educational settings, wellness practices, and a 20+ year career in family management, I bring a unique perspective to my therapy practice. My expertise extends beyond healthcare and is intentionally informed by my personal journeys. I had the privilege to learn from the generous people and cultures who enriched my life by touching my soul from Asia, Latin America, Africa, Australia, and Europe. These experiences have opened my heart to the beauty of human diversity, the universal need for connection, and the incredible resilience we each carry within us.
Raised and rooted in Washington, I’m honored to call the mountains my home. I continuously turn to the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest for inspiration and solace. The surrounding landscapes directly shape my therapeutic approach by teaching me how to be present and grounded. Nature has always offered me the space to re-connect with myself thus allowing me to guide clients in finding their center, sense of empowerment, and identify what truly matters in life.
When I'm not with clients, you’ll find me doing the other things I love, enjoying nature, nurturing my relationships, loving on my cat (Pax), continuously learning, traveling, or searching the Salish Seas for majestic whales.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a career that aligns with my purpose—helping others heal, expand, and rediscover the connection with themselves, with those around them, and their values.
