All day you hear the critical voice of the eating disorder in your head, dictating what you can eat, how you should feel and what your allowed to do that day. The committee in your head occupies your every thought and judges your every move. To make matters worse, today's society is feeding that committee through diet culture. You struggle to let others in to help you when you need it most. Your struggle is real and valid! This daily battle is exhausting and leaves you questioning reality.

I am client focused, with a compassionate mind-body-spirit approach to working with people. I look for people's strengths and resources in working through life's challenges.

Grief rearranges the landscape of our life. It is disorienting and painful. By attending to grief by giving it the time and space it needs, creates a deeper and wiser understanding of how to move through loss and grow from what grieves you. I have extensive clinical experience supporting individuals grieving a death or coping with a life-limiting illness as well as providing individual and group support for those healing from PTSD and death-related trauma issues.

LINDA SHALEEN

My interest is working with individuals and couples who find that their current ways of coping are not effective and they want to find a new approach. Many of us experience anxiety or depression that prohibits us from living a full and rewarding life. My expertise is assisting people with identifying the core of their uneasiness and learning new skills.

Are you attempting to manage feelings of constantly being on edge? Have you felt sad and overwhelmed? At times do you feel alone, or that no one can understand how you're feeling. Do you question why do I feel this way? I understand those feelings. They can be debilitating. I don't want you to feel that way any longer. Through an array of effective techniques, you can develop a new approach in how you feel. I look forward to teaching you these tools.

The difficulties of everyday life can sometimes become overwhelming. When on top of those difficulties we add the stresses of illness, anxiety, depression, our identity, our love lives and more-we can easily feel burdened to our breaking point. Sometimes these situations can linger for months or years, making it hard to meet our obligations and live our lives in the way we would like. However, those difficulties and stresses don't need to define who we are-or where we're going.
