Linnea Halfvarson, M.A., L.L.P.

Limited Licensed Psychologist
Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

“All of us face times of trials, transitions, losses and uncertainities in our journeys through life. I see my role as being a guide, teacher and facilitator for people on their journeys. I offer support, skill building and ‘brainstorming’ together as my clients approach their problems; I encourage the listening to that ‘still small voice’ inside, their own source of wisdom. I want to help them learn how to thrive, more than just survive.”
