The Good News About Psychotherapy
Depression, anxiety, trauma, and the weight of major life transitions don't respond to willpower alone, and trying to push through them without support can leave you feeling more stuck than when you started. However, through our psychotherapy work together, they are treatable and can resolve.
Who I Work With

She offers both virtual sessions, available to patients throughout Colorado, and in-person sessions at her Lakewood, Colorado office.

How I Can Help You
Individual Therapy
One-hour therapy sessions designed to give you enough time and space to fully address what you're carrying. Dr. Ollar specializes in treating depression, anxiety, mood disorders including Bipolar Disorder, and the lasting effects of trauma and painful life experiences. Together, you will build a personalized treatment plan with achievable goals, practical tools for healing, and the kind of depth and understanding that leads to lasting emotional wellness.
Diagnostic Evaluations
When a deeper understanding of your symptoms is needed, Dr. Ollar offers comprehensive psychological diagnostic evaluations. The process includes a clinical interview with you and family members when appropriate, standardized assessments, and a formal diagnosis paired with a clear treatment plan and recommendations for your care going forward. Evaluations can be self-initiated or requested by your physician, psychiatrist, or another treating provider.
Medication Coordination
Healing sometimes requires more than talk therapy alone. When medication may support your recovery, Dr. Ollar will walk you through how psychiatric medications work alongside psychotherapy, answer your questions about options, uses, and side effects, and then refer you to your primary care physician or a psychiatrist for prescribing. While she does not prescribe medications herself, her familiarity with mental health supporting medications means you won't navigate that conversation alone.
