(she/her)
Hi! I'm Quanya Linen, and I'm a licensed professional counselor practicing since 2012. I have a master's degree in counseling and help adults who are considered to be "strong on the outside" but struggling on the inside. I believe in a holistic approach to therapy and tend to incorporate a mind and body strategies that promote overall wellness while using evidence-based treatment strategies.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
You’re the “strong” friend that’s supposed to have it all together. The one that says “fine” when asked how you’re doing, but who is really struggling inside. Underneath your mask is irritability, insecurity, fear, and sadness. Your nerves are getting the best of you, and you can’t sleep because your thoughts or worries keep replaying. No matter how hard you try to forget, your past keeps haunting your thoughts and dreams. Imagine waking up refreshed, confident, and unafraid while expressing your thoughts and feelings in a healthy way. Your relationships and career are strong because you feel safe, hopeful, and good about yourself.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I tend to display empathy, non-judgment, and space for clients to share while offering tools and strategies to help clients achieve their desired outcomes for counseling.
