Deborah Olson Biography

Deborah Olson is a registered nurse, licensed professional counselor, women's emotional health specialist, and nationally recognized friendship expert whose work focuses on helping women build deeper, more meaningful connections. Olson holds a master's degree in clinical psychology from Sam Houston State University and a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of St. Thomas. Her initial career in nursing included specialization in OB/GYN, labor and delivery, newborn nursery, and high-risk OB. This dual background in clinical care and mental health informs Olson's perspective on the science and dynamics of human connection.

Olson is the author of "The Healing Power of Girlfriends: How to Create Your Best Life Through Female Connection," a book recognized for its accessible, research-informed approach to female friendship. Her book and workshops address the pillars of healthy friendships, the impact of friendships on longevity, health, happiness, and well-being, and strategies for nurturing and creating female friendships. The book emphasizes the value of making new friends and maintaining long-term friendships as a unique source of enrichment.

Olson, who holds credentials as an MA and LPC, has provided counseling services for nearly two decades in the greater Houston area through Galleria Counseling, her private practice. She works with women experiencing depression, anxiety, and life transition issues. Olson also offers life enrichment seminars and retreats, providing practical solutions to enhance life in meaningful, purposeful, and emotionally healthy ways.

As a keynote speaker, Olson has presented on female connection to audiences across the United States. Her speaking engagements have included the Women's Engineers Local Des Moines Iowa Conference, Nebraska Methodist College Alumni Association, Mothers of Preschoolers conference, and Southwestern Psychological Association Conference. She has also served as keynote speaker for Coterra Energy in Houston, leading sessions on building meaningful workplace connections. Olson addresses topics such as the importance of female friendships, the stages of a woman's life, and rediscovering personal passion.

Olson has discussed the power of female friendship on "The Dr. Phil Show," "Great Day Houston," and "Networking Arizona with Carol Blonder." She has appeared on "Great Day Houston" with Deborah Duncan on National Girlfriends Day to discuss female friendships, including the topic of toxic friends. Olson's blend of clinical expertise and personal insight positions her as a recognized voice on women's emotional health, counseling, and the transformative power of female friendships.
