Meet Our Providers

Stephanie Olson

DNP, APRN, CNP, PMHNP-BC

I'm Steph! I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. I bring a peaceful, easy-going style to our work together, creating an environment where you can feel comfortable, heard, and empowered. My goal is to reassure you that no matter what you are facing, you don't have to face it alone.

I received my Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP) from Chamberlain University and my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Cincinnati. Over the past 16 years, I have provided mental health care across various settings, including community-based services, acute inpatient hospitalization, and outpatient care. Additionally, I have enjoyed sharing my expertise as an instructor, helping other nurse practitioners expand their knowledge and skills. I provide medication management for many mental health disorders in clients from their late adolescents (age 16) through adulthood.

With a nurturing, empathetic presence, my focus is on understanding your unique needs and experiences. I believe in approaching each person as an individual, with insight and care that honors your strengths and challenges. I'm candid and transparent, ensuring that you always feel informed and confident in the decisions we make together about your care. While my style is nurturing and supportive, I’m not afraid to be bold when necessary. I’m here to advocate for you, helping you express your true self as you take control of your path forward.

Janaya Evenson

APRN, CNP, PMHNP-BC

Hello, I’m Janaya! As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner my passion is helping people find clarity, balance, and resilience with their mental health journey. I bring a blend of attentiveness, empathy, and a touch of spunk to every session. My patients appreciate my genuine character and my ability to truly listen, creating an environment where they feel valued and understood.

I earned my Bachelor and Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have spent the past decade working in the medical field, with a focus on mental health. My professional experience spans community-based care, acute inpatient hospital settings, and outpatient care. Additionally, I serve as an adjunct clinical instructor for psychiatric nurse practitioner students, a role that allows me to share my knowledge while continuously expanding my own expertise. I am dedicated to staying current with evidence-based practices and emerging theories to provide the best care possible.

With a kind and thoughtful approach, I aim to build meaningful connections with you, creating a safe and supportive space where your thoughts and feelings are genuinely valued. At the same time, I bring a strong analytical perspective to our collaboration, developing personalized treatment plans that address your unique needs with precision and care.

I believe mental health care is not one-size-fits-all- it’s about honoring your individuality and building a path forward that feels right for you. Whether you are seeking medication management and support through a tough time or long-term support, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

Katie Nystrom

My sessions are filled with compassion, humor, and a dash of creativity- because growth doesn’t have to be dull and healing doesn’t always have to be heavy!

Jessica Estrada

MSW, LGSW

Hello! I’m Jessica (I also go by Jay)! I’m a mental health therapist who believes in the power of resilience, laughter, and a good cup of coffee. With a unique blend of military experience and life adventures, I bring a dynamic perspective to the world of mental health.

Proudly serving in the Army as a combat veteran, I learned invaluable lessons about resilience, teamwork, and the strength that comes from overcoming challenges. These experiences instilled in me a deep understanding of mental fortitude and camaraderie, which now shape my approach to therapy. After my time in the military, I transitioned into the field of mental health, driven by a passion for helping others navigate life’s complexities.

I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from St. Cloud State University and completed my MSW internship working with at-risk youth in a residential treatment setting. Over the next five years, I focused on supporting youth ages 24 and under who were experiencing homelessness, trafficking, exploitation, or foster care involvement. I’ve also worked with patients of all ages as an LSW on a hospital care management team, providing resources and support for successful discharges. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctorate of Social Work degree at Capella University to continue expanding my expertise.

In therapy, I blend professionalism with a sprinkle of fun—because who says healing can’t include a little joy? My diverse life experiences have given me unique insights into human emotions, and I strive to create a welcoming space where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings.

When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll likely find me spending time with my children, friends, and family. I believe that life is a journey filled with lessons, laughter, and endless opportunities for growth.
