Olja Haglund is a Licensed Master Social Worker located in Grand Rapids, MI. She has over 20 years of professional experience working with people and specializes in supporting clients going through trauma, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, codependency, and more. These experiences may feel overwhelming, leading an individual to reach out for broader therapeutic support.
Olja’s approach to therapy draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. Clients learn more about their automatic thought patterns and how those thoughts influence their emotions or their actions. They also begin to recognize how ready they are to make healthy changes in their lives and explore with Olja’s support what that might look like. Olja also incorporates mindfulness practices into her sessions, teaching clients how to ground themselves in the present and grow their self-awareness.
Olja earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Grand Valley State University. Her aim as a therapist is to create a space that’s judgment free and feels emotionally safe for clients. As a collaborator, Olja helps clients utilize psychological tools to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
