Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Provo, UT

I specialize in psychedelic integration and trauma-healing. My clinical work and training has been focused on assisting those with emotional, behavioral, and social concerns, many of which stem from a history of adverse experiences, reach a place where their actions and lives are led by True Self. I began providing therapy in a substance abuse treatment facility and am now the Clinical Director of a residential program for adults. I worked for a few years with incarcerated adolescents in a long-term secure facility. I now work with individuals of diverse ages, histories, and treatment goals.

Counseling Made Simple also has Carly and Stephanie working with Linda. Check out the website for more information: www.counselingmadesimple.com

The challenges we face as individuals, as a community, and as a society can have a profound impact on the way we view the world, ourselves and others. Exposure to multiple adverse life experiences over time (experienced directly or in anticipation of adverse experiences) can progressively increase symptoms of anxiety, depression, clinical, and sub-clinical PTSD and even impact the state and health of our bodies. Adverse life experiences are often stored in the body and can be coded to our DNA. Somatic forms of therapy such as EMDR and Brainspotting help to adjust this lens by integrating and fully reprocessing adverse experiences.

I am passionate about connecting with my clients and creating a space for healing and understanding. Assisting you to gain the loving connections and personal wholeness you desire is at the heart of my work. Talking about sexuality may be ok for some and scary for others, I desire to assist you through any sexual blocks and explore sexual narratives that have been created over your lifetime. We often get caught up in negative relationship cycles and negative sexual cycles, making you feel stuck and somewhat crazy. It is my honor and privilege to assist in relieving the pain you are experiencing and create HOPE/CHANGE in your life.

Hello. I've been working in mental health for the past 15 years, with experience in most mental/emotional/relational health conditions. I very much enjoy and value working with my clients. I believe that client-therapist fit and clinical expertise are both essential. I work to constantly deepen my understanding of human psychology and the healing process. I specialize in EMDR, IFS , and Prolonged Exposure for treating PTSD, complex trauma, and anxiety conditions. I also specialize in DBT, and have a published book called "Mindfulness and DBT skills for improving Focus, Relationships, Emotion Management, & Distress Tolerance."
