Linda Carlson
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Verified
My passion is to come alongside caregivers of all forms because often that is the person who also needs individual care and connection to keep going. Caregiver fatigue is real but is not easily recognized. This can look like depression, anxiety, irritability, or overwhelm. Self-care can feel excessive, impractical or maybe just one more thing on your to-do list. It's not, it is necessary! I love working within the frameworks of
Mindfulness
and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but we can explore other options as we go that resonate with you. How can I support you?

At different points in life we can find ourselves "stuck," overwhelmed, defeated, or feeling disconnected from self or others. Social media has added another challenge for us to navigate while seeking connection. Therapy is an opportunity to make positive changes in one's life and relationships. By gaining an understanding of our needs, motives, and fears we can move out of an "auto-pilot" mode and into an active role in our lives. I work alongside clients to help them develop a more balanced, integrated, and grounded sense of self to be more aware of their choices in order to work to defeat the obstacles creating distress.
