Getting to know Lynn Newman
I have worked in multiple healthcare environments throughout the course of my career. In every setting and role, I have found that without addressing all aspects, factors, and complexities of our human constructs (biopsychosocial, environmental, etc.), healing may be impeded or fractured. I continue to work in the field of mental health because I strongly believe that emphasizing the ?whole systems? aspects of an individual is a direct pathway to healing. Solving one problem often leads to solutions for other challenges. I hold a Master's in Psychology from California State University, Chico, which has deepened my understanding of these interconnected factors. I hope to assist those I serve by collaborating with them and providing evidence-based guidance to professionally facilitate and support their healing journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I consider myself a “Systems” therapist with focus on the entirety of a client’s personal and unique situation while selecting what methods, approaches, or philosophies would be appropriate. This process is collaborative with the client and includes evidence-based practice (EBP) methodologies. Each approach is focused on principles and interventions that are supported by empirical evidence and are fashioned for the unique characteristics of the client. One example of an EBP is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which focuses on the client’s perceptions of events and their reactions and responses to the identified event. Interventions and approaches are fashioned to help clients identify their thoughts, feelings, and actions while completing exercises fashioned to redirect responses to perceived stressors. Unique communities that I enjoy working with include: elderly populations as well as those suffering with chronic pain, grief & Loss, LGBTQA+, gender dysphoria, Post Traumatic Stress, anxiety, depression, and work / professional related stress management.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The best value I bring as a therapist is a very diverse professional and advanced educational background in and outside of professional psychotherapy and many life experiences that have added to my understanding and empathy of the unique complexities of ourselves as humans. My personal journey includes, but is not limited to, private practice, clinical experience in the medical device implantable space, adult services in public mental health, and volunteering for various community organizations. I, myself, understand the experience of being “marginalized” professionally and personally which adds to my ability to build rapport and understanding with clients while supporting progress and the courage to actively facilitate change.
