What is a Drugless Practitioner?

A drugless practitioner is a healthcare provider that utilizes alternative methods of care besides pharmaceuticals. As a Board Certified Drugless Practitioner, Linnea can offer assistance to clients who are struggling with various types of mental health distress and want to avoid the use of psychotropic medications and/or ,other medical interventions, through talk therapy and holistic nutrition counseling.* 

For clients who are currently using pharmacological interventions for mental health reasons and would like to explore alternative methods, Linnea can provide assistance in identifying and utilizing holistic alternatives. These services are provided while the client is under the medical supervision of the prescription provider, or an another licensed medical professional that is qualified to safely monitor medication titration. 

* These services are not appropriate for individuals who are currently SUICIDAL, experiencing psychosis, or have been hospitalized for any mental health reason in the prior 365 days. a free consultation call is required Before scheduling a session to determine if these services are appropriate for you. 

How it Works

Therapy services will begin by doing an in-depth mental and physical written assessment to best assess your needs. The next step is a thorough time-line of your life to find the points of distress that may be contributing to current life impairments. Linnea will ask investigative questions that are designed to look for possible roots of the problems, and she will help you look for the dysfunctional patterns that tend to repeat, sometimes even across generations, that may have you feeling like you are stuck. The goal of this approach is to not only to identify the issues, but to discover the moments of beauty and courage that you may have missed along your journey. This leads to feeling like you can take control of your life, which in turn can reduce depression and anxiety. The focus of services are not on all the ways things have gone wrong, but rather all the remarkable strengths you have developed along the way.

If you have been feeling less like the author of our own life and more like a character with no control, it is time to write your new story. You will go over past actions and choices that you may be identifying as mistakes, or that others have shamed you for, and will learn how they played a valuable role in shaping you into someone far stronger than you know. Your new story can be one filled with power, strength, and moments of greatness that will allow you to take back control of your life. Everyone needs a chance to tell their story, and Linnea ready to hear yours.

What is a Holistic Approach?

Many traditional mental health services focus on treating the symptoms rather than looking for and addressing the root causes of distress. This can end up being a one-approach-fits all model and tends to lead to the use of medications. While the use of pharmaceuticals can be helpful or necessary for some, they come with many problems of their own and might not be the best option for everyone.

The holistic model looks at key factors like; the impacts of general lifestyle issues like sleep habits and poor nutrition, problems with interpersonal relationships and their impact on development, family history, and underlying medical conditions. When all of this is taken into consideration, it may decrease the likelihood of long-term medication use. Linnea can help you develop and follow a food/lifestyle plan that incorporates more natural and organic foods, natura supplements and general self-care. Services will begin with an in-depth assessment that examines current and historical environmental & emotional stressors, reviews past and current health concerns and allows a collaborative creation of a personalized treatment plan.*
