Linda Slaikeu

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 16+ years of professional therapy experience. I completed my Master’s degree at Bethel University. I enjoy working with individuals who struggle with relationship issues, history of trauma, abuse, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, etc.

I am passionate about equipping individuals with tools and coping strategies that can help them get unstuck from problem behaviors, debilitating fears, the effects of trauma, etc.

I also bring a wealth of life experiences that deepen my compassion and broaden my understanding of people and their concerns.

I draw from my experience in Family Systems and attachment-based therapy models. Guided by the unique needs of each client, I utilize interventions from a Emotion-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, etc.

As a Christian, I provide faith-based counseling for those who wish to incorporate their faith, scriptures, prayer, and Biblical principles into their treatment.

During the first session, my clients are welcomed with a warm, nonjudgmental style that allows them to quickly feel safe and supported. I listen, respectfully gather information, and help clients share their needs and what they hope to accomplish during therapy. As treatment progresses, I check in with clients to ensure that therapy is targeting their needs and is effective to help the client reach their goals.
