Hi! my name is Linda Grove and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with clients struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, self esteem, grief, and life transitions. I do not provide couples counseling through insurance. I meet clients where they are at and explore what is keeping them stuck in life. We can explore unhelpful thinking patterns, rigid beliefs, and other ways that we may be getting in our own way to a more peaceful and meaningful life. I enjoy working with diverse cultural communities and gender identities.
In our first session together we will start with brief introductions, then explore the specific challenges you're facing. this will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up session.
I will provide a safe space for you to share your story, process your fears, gain some coping tools, and explore where you are getting stuck. It is my goal to help foster insight, awareness, growth, and empowerment so that you can begin to experience more peace and balance in your life.
I love working with clients that are struggling in an area in their life and are eager to improve but don't have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious in life and it is holding them back from finding fulfillment in life.
I work with clients to become aware of inaccurate, unhelpful, or negative thinking patterns so that they can learn how view challenging situations clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. CBT helps to reduce negative thought cycles and unhelpful ways of reacting to situations
ACT is a form of therapy that helps you to identify values and explore ways they may guide your actions toward a meaning life. If also helps you learn how to accept a difficult emotion, rather then avoid or push it away.
I use DBT and integrate mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, managing and tolerating stress, and learning how to regulate emotions.
I use mindfulness therapy to focus on the here and now and utilizing nonjudgmental awareness.
