Getting to know Peggy Lingard

Hi there, I'm Peggy! Hello everyone, I previously offered weekly DBT groups and managed and coached teams of therapists before I began working with PATH. I am glad to give my full attention to your care each session. I can bring any skills helpful to your goals and offer my strong collaboration experience. I believe in supporting your strengths and invite you to plan treatment with me, keeping your goals at the center. I am committed to practicing what I preach, living mindfully, which helps me remain grateful and accept feedback with humor. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Kansas, Lawrence, providing a strong foundation for my clinical work. My primary specialties include: - Increasing skills to improve your life. - CBT, Exposure, and Solution-Focused treatment for depression and anxiety. - Training in the Gottman method for improving couples’ relationships. - ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), useful with grief, self-esteem, and life transitions. - Extensive training and experience in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), helping manage emotions, relationships, mindfulness, and acceptance. - Treatment focused on the unique needs of women, LGBTQ clients, aging adults, postpartum, college students, and transitioning families. - Writing specific client-related therapy plans. I don’t have preferences regarding problems, goals, or diagnoses. However, I hope to work with someone who shares key information or concerns within a few sessions. I want to plan treatment together, so some transparency works best. I also hope clients feel comfortable letting me know what is or isn’t working. Although I want treatment to fit, I accept that sometimes it doesn’t or needs tweaking. Talking openly as we go is consistent with my preferred style of connecting.
