I provide outpatient therapy services to children, adults, and families addressing issues related, but not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, grief/loss, divorce, abuse, cancer/medical issues, and women's issues (infertility, perinatal loss, abortion, etc.). My goal is to assist individuals and/or families in finding the balance needed to lead stable, healthy lifestyles while creating and rebuilding essential, life-long relationships. I have worked with children, adults, and families for approximately 20 years and focus on respect, love, connections, and most importantly, discovery.

I provide the tools, guidance, and support needed when dealing with current life stressors, as well as a safe, genuine, non-judgmental atmosphere where confidentiality, trust, and respect reign. Services are offered in a comfortable, private setting. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities as a means of meeting the needs of each unique situation. A therapeutic playroom is also on site in an effort to better meet the needs of children.

Cassie Tofteland

I provide outpatient therapy services to children, adults, and families. My goal is to build positive, authentic relationships with individuals and/or families to support and guide them through life's stresses, past trauma, or other current concerns or issues.

With my experience in working with children and families, I know the importance of involving parents in the therapeutic process. Through this teamwork, we can support your child with their stressors and utilizing appropriate coping skills to promote a better level of functioning. I strive to provide compassion, respect, and meaningful connections with each client.  Services are provided in a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space. Telehealth is also available.

Monica Olson

MS, LPCC, Discovery Therapeutic Services, PLLC



I was born and raised in Minot, and being an explorer by nature, traveled to many places around the world. So, also naturally, it makes sense to me to explore the inner world, as well. Life is a journey, after all. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University in Nebraska and started my counseling career in the Denver-Metro area back in 2013. The work I do is based largely on a psychospiritual approach, with a focus on resolving unhealed wounds stemming from childhood, both single and complex. Theoretical influences include, Abraham Maslow, Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, and more.

When I work with clients, I’m always thinking about the root cause. If that is not addressed, then the symptoms will continue to show up in way or another in a client’s life. I love watching clients transform into individuals who have command over their own lives with increased motivation for growing into who they are meant to become, so they have the confidence to live authentically and unapologetically.
