I wonder if sometimes you see yourself as flawed, unworthy, and in some cases undesirable. You’ve looked for ways to ease the discomfort and protect yourself. Behaviors and attitudes, such as substance use, controlling and planning, or being emotionally guarded, once served as protection, have become fixed challenges that prevent you from living your truth.

Not feeling comfortable in your own skin? Struggling to adjust to life changes? These are normal parts of the human experience, but sometimes they strain our typical ability to cope. Too often, we blame ourselves for our own suffering. But in blaming ourselves, we miss plenty of nuance and deny the real causes of pain. My passion is to support you as you grow into the best version of yourself. Together, we’ll explore your story. As we go down this exciting road, I’ll help you create your own life narrative which works for you.

Most people seek therapy when they are in a vulnerable state. In a warm and supportive atmosphere offering personal safety, I'll work with you in a highly personalized approach tailored to your specific needs. The goal is to support you in attaining personal growth that taps the best in you. I utilize both a Positive Psychology and Gestalt Therapy approach. Gestalt Therapy is an expressive, action-based approach to growth, which supports an individual's ability to notice self in the moment and understand one's meaning-making process. This is a collaborative process between therapist and client.

Being a mom can not only burn you out, but it can trigger stuff you thought you had under wraps. Raising kids, managing family life, AND somehow finding time to take care of you is a lot to juggle. You want a calm, happy home but the things you’ve tried haven’t stuck. You don’t have to repeat history. You can spend more time enjoying your family. You can feel better in your body and mind. Being able to parent well, have a happy family life, and take care of your own mental wellness is 100 percent possible.

Linnea McQuiston
Licensed Professional Counselor, MEd, LPC, NCC
My clients are interested in increasing their knowledge of self. They are willing and open to examining their problems and sharing their personal insights and reflections. Trained in CBT, Gestalt Therapy and EMDR, I am eclectic in my approach and believe that treatment is a collaborative effort between client and therapist. I believe that the goal of treatment is to increase a client's awarness and focus, so that each client can learn to understand and moderate their moods; and make the changes or shifts in behavior that are needed for each client to meet his or her individual needs.

Death is the price we pay for being human, yet, the chaos of grief can bring the strongest to their knees and the heartbreak of loss can make us feel that we've lost our way. I have more than 10 years specialized experience in helping people cope with chronic/terminal illness, death, dying, grief and loss. I have worked in hospitals and in hospice and help train palliative physicians to support patients and improve bereavement outcomes. I understand the need for support from hospitalization, decision making and end-of-life through bereavement. I have extensive experience supporting therapists and clinical/medical professionals.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
