Linda Schelander
Welcome! My name is Linda Schelander and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina. I have a Masters degree in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM and I have been working in the mental health field for over twenty years. Thank you for taking that courageous step to engage in counseling. I strive to build a comfortable, trusting relationship with each one of my clients; building a therapeutic relationship that feels SAFE is one of my top priorities. My approach to therapy is primarily client centered as I believe each person is the experts on his/her/themselves and their lives. I believe that clients determine the direction and depth of the therapy. I use several therapy approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps you explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that might be leading to an unproductive life and/or keeping you feeling stuck emotionally. I use trauma-based therapies as well as mindfulness based therapies to assist you in coping with and managing the symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, poor self image, grief and loss, overwhelming stress, major life transitions, and more. I can provide you with tools to improve your interpersonal communications with those close to you. At times, I will challenge you as I assist you in exploring who you are, and what you want in your life. My goal for you is that you be able to express your emotions fully, manage your symptoms, make needed changes, believe in yourself, and move toward the life you want. I look forward to working with you!
