Therapist

img-2

Linnea’s empathic, supportive, and holistic approach to therapy has been cultivated from years of working in inpatient, outpatient and community settings. She began her post graduate career as a therapist working with children and adults with chronic health conditions at a major NYC Hospital. Through her therapeutic and personal experiences, she developed a passionate interest in the field of maternal mental health after welcoming her first child and since transitioned her practice toward this focus. Supporting women on the journey into and through the continuum of motherhood is both deeply familiar and profoundly important to her.

Linnea’s therapeutic approach is strengths-based, client-centered and integrative. She accesses many different modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy, in a warm, authentic and compassionate way. To her, the relationship between client and therapist is the most important component to a successful therapeutic partnership. She will work with you to explore your feelings and experiences in order to highlight your strengths, identify patterns, and create meaningful change.

Linnea is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist in both Colorado and Connecticut.  She is originally from a small town in Connecticut and spent a decade in New York City, where she completed her MSW training, prior to moving to Denver in 2020. Linnea completed Perinatal Mental Health Training through Postpartum Support International and is working toward her PMH-C certification.

NeuroFeedback Trainer

Alaina is currently a graduate student pursuing her Master’s degree in Couples and Family Therapy at the University of Colorado Denver.

Alaina’s first career was in the arts before moving into the field of mental health. As an actor, she was innately curious about psychology and human behavior and spent much of her time trying to answer the age-old question, “why do people do the things they do?”

Through her own healing journey, Alaina realized her other interest lied in helping women and children survivors of domestic violence heal from their experiences. Since she loves kids, Alaina’s career goal is to become a trauma-informed therapist for children and their families.

Originally from Michigan, Alaina lived in Los Angeles for seven years prior to moving to Denver in 2019. In her free time, she sings with the Andrew’s Sisters tribute group, and travels to spend time with her long-distance partner. She loves being in nature, practicing yoga, dancing to funk music, and snuggling on the couch with her pooch.
