The decision to reach out for help is often difficult and I look forward to helping you with the problems you would like to explore and resolve. My view of psychotherapy is that you are hiring me to consult with you regarding problems or relationship issues that significantly affect your life. My overall approach is to develop a comfortable collaboration so we actively work together to gain insight into the various contributions to your feelings and problems.
Then together we translate this understanding into more beneficial ways of thinking, feeling, and acting in your world. Dr. Lindquist is a Board Certified and licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in high conflict couples and trauma therapy for individuals. She is a Master Coach in the Bridge Coaching Institute. Her private practice has been in Laguna Beach for more than 30 years where she is part of a group of independent practitioners.
She has written a book, Happily Married with Kids about how to be in the 33% of couples who grow closer and happier after kids and avoid being in the 67% who are much more unhappy or divorced.

Services
Couples Therapy can help you and your partner sort out your problems and build a stronger relationship.
Whether you are in the middle of a crisis, going through a difficult transition, or simply want to build a better, more intimate relationship, couples therapy can be a tremendous source of support and growth.
Having a highly trained, objective third party helps you work through anger, resentment, hurt and disappointment.
Seeing couples emerge from a difficult situation feeling more connected, intimate and committed than they ever thought possible is very gratifying.

In our first session, I listen and ask a variety of questions.
I will then give you an initial assessment that attempts to capture your problem.
I will also offer some useful perspectives on the factors that may be contributing to the problems, and suggest possible next steps that will likely be necessary in resolving these problems and helping you achieve your goals.
I encourage you to ask me any questions that you may have about the therapy process or my background.
By the end of our initial meeting, I will share my impressions of how I may provide help and/or I'll refer you to other providers or resources in the area that may better meet your needs.
