Linda Hansen

Background:
I am an experienced psychologist with extensive expertise in both primary and specialized healthcare services. I have worked with people of all ages and have a strong background in elite sports, where I developed a specialization in body-oriented therapy. This approach promotes awareness of bodily reactions, sensory experiences, and self-esteem.

I have significant experience guiding parents of children with special needs and have worked with individuals facing challenging life crises. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to live and work in several countries, which has provided me with valuable insights into diverse cultures and enriched my understanding of diversity.

I also have specialized expertise in working with individuals who have experienced loss, including treatment for prolonged grief disorder. Additionally, I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma therapy.

In the therapy room:
In the therapy room, I meet you with care, understanding, and expertise. I prioritize creating a safe and trusting environment that fosters personal development. Together, we will explore your challenges and find solutions that work for you.

I have extensive experience working with people in life crises and have witnessed how many achieve post-traumatic growth following difficult experiences. I am committed to understanding you as an individual and addressing both your emotional and physical needs.

I offer individual therapy, family sessions, and couples therapy, and I work with Norwegian, Ukrainian, and Russian-speaking clients of all ages.

Method:
I combine techniques from various therapeutic approaches to tailor the treatment to your needs. My areas of expertise include:

• Body-oriented therapy

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma therapy

• Cognitive behavioral therapy

• Psychoeducation and narrative approaches
