Lynda Bredeweg
Whether you're dealing with depression, anxiety, or conflict in a relationship, making the initial call to start therapy can feel scary and overwhelming. My hope is to help you navigate towards the direction of health and healing.
As a parent of adult children, I can empathize with how challenging parenting can be while trying to support elderly parents.
Through our sessions, we will work together to help you feel at ease and to equip you with the tools you need to make lasting change. I specialize in helping couples navigate through challenging seasons that naturally occur in a marriage. My goal as a mediator is for each person to feel as if their story matters. I also have over 10 years of healthcare experience in which I closely worked with elderly patients and their families as they navigated through difficult and stressful decisions. I advocated for older adults as they maneuvered the challenges that often go along with aging. As a parent of adult children, I can empathize with how challenging parenting can be while trying to support elderly parents. Let's get started in helping you feel more empowered in writing your own story.
First session
In our initial visit, I will invite you to share your story. Every story is worth telling! I believe your time is important and you should feel like I am a valuable member of your team. Visit number one will be about getting to know each other. Following visits will give us the opportunity to set some goals for what you hope to accomplish. Let's get started! If you are interested in scheduling an in person visit, please send me a message through the Grow Therapy Portal.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
It is not uncommon for people to get stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts. CBT helps people move forward out of times when feeling depressed or anxious and to reframe their thoughts in a more positive light.
Motivational Interviewing
Counseling is not about a therapist imposing their belief system on a client but about listening and asking questions in a way that helps someone find their own motivation and desire for change. Motivational interviewing supports my philosphy and strengths-based approach
Strength-Based
Every person has the capacity to change. What we focus on is what will grow. A strengths-based approach helps transition out of a victim mentality towards an understanding of resilience and resourcefulness.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
EFT helps us understand how emotions guide behavior and relationships. The goal of therapy is helping explore what triggers strong feelings and then helping to learn how to respond in ways that help clients feel more secure and connected to yourself and others.
