Getting to know Laurie Linsley
Hi there, I'm Lauriea!
Born and raised in sunny California, I earned my Bachelor's degree from California State University, Fresno, in Recreational Therapy. I then lived in Iowa and Alaska for 23 years. In 2014, I obtained my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University and became licensed in 2016. I also completed a Post-Master's Certificate in Equine Assisted Mental Health from Prescott College. I have worked primarily with teens in the juvenile justice system and youth in foster care, and now I see couples, families, and individuals. I believe all problems center around our relationships with others.
My approach
I help individuals, couples, and families understand why they struggle and how to change their mindset, perspective, and relationships with themselves and others. I use CBT and Gottman strategies along with mindfulness and nature/animals.
My focus
I work with anyone needing help understanding themselves and their relationships.
My communication style
I am down to earth, use humor when appropriate, and want you to find your own answers. With gentle guidance, I help you see things differently and challenge your patterns and beliefs.
My journey to therapy
As a recreation therapist in psychiatric hospitals, I noticed we helped patients but not families, leading to repeated hospitalizations. This inspired me to study marriage and family therapy to understand family systems and their impact on individuals.
My goals for you
I hope you can heal and see things differently. With support and guidance, you can feel better, build a support system, and learn lifelong strategies.
My first session with you
We will get to know each other and review necessary paperwork and agreements.
