Linda Hill
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based in Idaho. I have more than twenty years experience working with clients in the mental health field. It has been my experience that counseling begins with a genuine connection between the therapist and client and that through that relationship, the client finds the inner strength and awareness necessary for healing and personal growth. Some of the most profound moments in my career have been when a client has had that inspired realization and discovered the answer to the question that they have been seeking. My goal is to assist them to acquire the skills needed to work through the difficulties that have prevented them from moving forward. My expertise has included assisting those with a large variety of mental health issues. Although I am trained and credentialed in the traditional sense, I offer a holistic approach to my counseling which incorporates Mind, Body and Spirit. I believe that counseling is a process of self-discovery where we can get one step closer to knowing ourselves and add meaning to our lives.

Steven "Steve" Miner
As a marriage and family therapist (MFT), practicing in Southeast Idaho, I have over 15 years of mental health experience with the last 6 years focusing on marriage and family issues. I treat a range of relationship issues: couples and marital problems, infidelity, family problems, and child-parent problems. I practice therapy with brief, solution-focused goals. In marriage and family therapy, the unit of treatment isn't just the person - even if only a single person is interviewed - it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, non-judgemental, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines person-centered, and systems oriented therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I'm clinically trained in: Couples Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Strategic Family Therapy, and Bowenian Family Therapy. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
