Colleen Ohlman, LPCC, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

“Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it” - Ziad K. Abdelnour
My name is Colleen Ohlman, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor at Life Focus Center in Hacienda Heights. I work with clients both in-person and online via our HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, making therapy accessible and convenient.
I aim to provide a non-judgmental, safe, and comfortable space where clients feel truly heard, understood, and valued. My role is not to tell anyone how to live their life, but rather to support and empower clients with the tools they need to improve their mental health and overall well-being. My approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, ensuring that every client receives effective, individualized care.
I believe that nobody should have to suffer alone when there are resources available that can make a meaningful difference.
Areas of Focus
I am dedicated to helping clients navigate challenges including:
Anxiety & Depression
Low Self-Esteem & Identity Development
Trauma & PTSD
Divorce, Marital & Relationship Struggles
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating
Major Life Changes & Transitions
Parenting Skills & Family Connection
OCD, Phobias & Self-Harm
A Personal Approach
With a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my practice. As a mom of three teens, I understand the complex struggles families face in today’s world and am passionate about helping youth, adults, and families reconnect and grow stronger together.
Outside the Office
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll likely find me spoiling my golden retriever, gardening, traveling, or spending quality time with my wonderful family.
✨ If you are struggling with your mental health, please reach out—because your mental health matters, and it’s time to make it a priority.
