About Us
Beacon of Strength is a mental health practice based in downtown Duluth, Minnesota, and the Iron Range. We offer psychotherapy and medication management services throughout the state of Minnesota.
Founded in 2023 by Donna Olsen, LICSW, the practice has quickly grown. We now have 12 practitioners specializing in different areas. Our team is able to provide therapy to all ages, from adolescents to elderly adults, and to individuals, couples, and families. We also provide group therapy sessions for DBT and grief. Sessions are held in our Duluth and Iron Range offices, via telehealth, or via home and school visits where available.
We use a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, EMDR, Somatic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused CBT to help clients dealing with different mental health challenges.
“I started my own therapy practice, because I wanted to be there for others the way my best friend was for me. I have dealt with childhood traumas well into my adult life, and it wasn’t until I met my lifetime best friend that I was able to start healing. Thinking about where I started and how far I have come, I know that growth is possible for anyone with the correct tools.”
