Linda Richards

Linda Richards helps people move beyond the moments that keep them stuck and puzzled by their own choices. She focuses on identifying those blind spots and stuck points that often underlie repeating patterns and inner confusion, offering a pathway to greater clarity and forward motion.

She has worked in the mental health field and specifically in the area of trauma since 1997, and brings 21 years of therapy experience to her work. Her expertise centers on trauma disorders and the many ways trauma can show up - including anxiety, depression, chronic illness, pain, and a range of other trauma-based presentations that many people do not recognize.

Linda approaches people of all ages, working with both children and adults. She understands that most people have experienced some degree of trauma or neglect at various points in life, and that those experiences shape how individuals see, feel, and behave in relationships, school, work, sports, and family interactions. Her goal is to help clients process and metabolize difficult emotions so they can restore a fuller sense of balance.

Her therapeutic toolbox includes somatic-based therapies, EMDR, Trauma Model Therapy, brain spotting, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and ego state therapies, applied according to each person’s needs. Linda is a licensed professional counselor in Wisconsin and offers a warm, professional approach aimed at helping people move toward their potential rather than be held back by fear.
