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.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

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.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use a variety of evidenced-based treatment methods, including CBT. I tend to help clients identify self-defeating beliefs and reframing them.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I help clients using components of DBT which includes mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Mind-body approach

I believe in a holistic approach to therapy which includes helping clients finding homeostasis. I provide strategies to support clients in regulating their nervous system so that they can manage emotional distress that manifests physically more effectively.
