My name is Lindsey McLaughlin and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I primarily work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and life adjustments, using an attachment lens, compassion, and support. The environment of my sessions is supportive, compassionate, and relational. I believe our relationship and trust with one another is one of the most important aspects of therapy. I also stive to have sessions feel productive and goal oriented.
Hello, I am so glad you have taken the next step to feeling and being your optimal best physically, emotionally, and socially. I have been providing counseling therapy for 11 years and enjoy working with people of all ages who have various issues or life challenges that may arise through the course of their lives. I am goal-oriented and believe the mind and body work as a team. The brain is the power control system for our well-being. I believe if one system is out of sync it affects all the other systems of our body in some shape or form. There are many factors that affect and shape us as children and adults such as heredity, poverty, poor parenting, substance abuse, divorce, trauma, illnesses, and diseases, among many other unforeseen circumstances. My point is many of us will eventually experience one or more of the above whether as a child or an adult and how we are wired and have the appropriate knowledge and skills to deal with specific circumstances or life changes may have a big impact on our mental and physical health. I can help you navigate through life changes, and provide research-based tools and strategies to promote and or overcome many discomforting feelings and emotions that may be inhibiting you from feeling and becoming your optimal best. You deserve to feel at peace and have total control of your emotions, feelings, and actions. Please feel free to contact me for any other questions or concerns you may have regarding the therapeutic process as well as the modalities I use.

Hello. I'm Paula Green. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Idaho, Colorado and New Mexico. My focus is helping teens and adults struggling with Anxiety, Depression, OCD and life transitions. I love to engage and get to know my clients! I'm truly interested in their lives. I want to get to know my clients perspectives and where they struggle. I also want to help them get better so I like to gently but directly encourage clients to make goals and changes so their lives can improve.
My approach to helping is way more than talk ... because your deepest concerns often have no words for expression! It took me decades to discover that for myself, so I developed a highly eclectic and holistic approach to therapy, grounded in the compassionate certainty that solutions to your concerns are simply waiting to be discovered, and they're just beyond the edges of all you know in this moment.
This isn’t where you thought you’d be. Whether you’re struggling in your relationships, feeling overwhelmed, or coming to the realization that the effects of trauma are keeping you from living fully - this isn’t how you thought your life would be unfolding. Start living a life you love without sacrificing who you are! When you feel like you have lost your voice and your sense of self in your relationships, I work with you to help you rediscover who you are and what boundaries you want to set in your relationships. Many couples say that as challenges and the pressures of life take their toll, it can feel like they’re always fighting each other, instead of the problems they face. In therapy, we can help you and your partner get on the same page and rebuild the intimacy and romance in your relationship so that you can handle anything that comes your way. Therapy can help you find a sense of unity and shared purpose. Parenting is arguably the toughest job out there - and raising a child who struggles with behavioral challenges can make it more difficult. Every day can feel like you’re pushed to your limits. I am here to support you. I walk alongside you, show you exactly what to do to help your child, and create a more peaceful way to live. I provide child therapy through a process that involves working with the parents and the child to find a less stressful way to live. For Individuals looking to heal from trauma we offer EMDR intensives that help you process your experience over the course of days instead of weeks. I believe that when you feel safe, supported, and heard - you’re going to feel comfortable sharing the experiences, history, and situations that brought you to our door. Connection with your therapist leads to an openness that allows us to get clear on why your relationships follow a pattern or behavior that doesn’t give you what you need. In creating a safe space for you to explore your thoughts without fear of judgment, we can open the door to real change.
Are you wanting different but keep repeating the same patterns? Do you feel stuck? Do you notice yourself feeling alone, withdrawn, andor anxious? Are past relationship wounds feeling impossible to overcome? Are your emotions causing overwhelm? Are you craving deeper connection and meaning in your life and relationships? Relationships are the most powerful and impactful contributor to our lives, and this includes the relationship to self. I help individuals, couples, and families build a more fulfilling and intentional life, working through the barriers that have led to disconnection from yourself and within your relationships by creating new ways to connect to self, others, and their goals. I believe each client has inherent wisdom, resiliency, and resources within themselves, and my job is to help clients tap into that. My goal is to go beyond the symptoms to uncover and address the root issues causing dissatisfaction, bridging the gap between where you are and where you would like to be. I use an integrated approach of emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and brainspotting. As I strongly believe that true change happens when the nervous system is also addressed, I integrate somatic work in session where possible to build on the mind-body connection. At the core of my work as a relationship therapist is attachment; I view symptoms you are experiencing as adaptions to survive and manage the systems and relationships you've experienced andor are currently in.
We approach the counseling process from a collaborative perspective. We believe a strong therapeutic relationship with you creates a space for deep self-reflection, awareness, and growth. Through humor, metaphors, and experiential activities, we help you develop the ability to engage in the present moment so you can decide whether a behavior is consistent with your values. Through acceptance and mindfulness practices, we identify "how" you think about experiences to help create flexibility in moving toward personal growth and development. Our approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help you effectively address personal life challenges. We integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a personalized approach. With compassion and understanding, we work with each individual to build on their values and strengths to attain personal growth.
