“The forces aligned when I was referred to Linnaya over 6 years ago. I have so much gratitude for the compassion, consummate skill, and amazing expertise that Linnaya holds. My life has truly changed. Through the work of talk therapy, EMDR, Brainspotting, and Neurofeedback, I have learned to Identify and continue to work through my Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

“I am forever thankful to her as I continue to hold empathy for self and have ultimately become a better partner and parent. Linnaya, thank you for all that you do to help mend the world. You are fabulous!”

“I did talk therapy for decades and never was able to make the progress I’ve made doing Brainspotting, EMDR, and Somatic Experiencing at Elliant Counseling. It’s such a warm and supportive place, and the staff are real people who genuinely care. I’ve also been doing neurotherapy at their sister organization, AllNeuro Pathways. Everyone has been so welcoming, it's like a home away from home.”

"Linnaya Widhalm is by far the best therapist my husband and I have encountered. Our marriage is in tact because of her skills as a therapist. We feel extremely lucky to have found someone with such compassion, patience, and knowledge."
