Linda Rounsville

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My name is Linda Rounsville, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the State of Minnesota with ten years of experience. I am a graduate of the College of St. Scholastica with a Master of Social Work. I have worked with individuals and families coping with a variety of common concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, stress, relationships, parenting issues, abuse, trauma, chronic pain, change of life issues, grief/loss, health care concerns and others.

During my time in this field, through training and my personal journey, I have seen growth, freedom and reconciliation bring closure, and life, to real life daily in this journey. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed and anxious, seeking greater satisfaction in relationships, or navigating trauma, I believe there is hope and healing in the process.

So often the weight of our difficulties and the difficulties of those around us fall on our shoulders. Therapy offers the opportunity for a space dedicated just for you – a place to address your fears, hopes, desires, and goals. A place to untangle how experiences in your past may be affecting you presently and achieve more clarity, direction and meaning in your life. Through a compassionate, warm, and inviting approach, I will invite you into a process of greater self-reflection so that you can achieve new perspectives.

My theoretical orientation is rooted in attachment therapy, and I work from a trauma-informed and person-centered approach. I enjoy collaborating with a broad range of adults and couples from diverse backgrounds. It may feel overwhelming taking the first steps to confront the repetitive patterns that have a hold on your life. You are not alone in this – it would be an honor to walk alongside you in your therapeutic journey.

I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I will complete a thorough diagnostic assessment. I strive to create a warm, welcoming environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the sessions that follow to make these goals a reality for you.

It takes courage to make changes. If you are ready to take that first step in leading a happier life, please consider me as your guide in sorting out the emotional difficulties, developing positive strategies to cope, and overcoming the obstacles you have been facing. I am here to support you on your journey.

I look forward to collaborating with you.
