Mikaela Lindgren

Background and Education I graduated as a psychologist from the University of Bergen and am currently pursuing specialist training in child and adolescent psychology. I have also completed further education in parental guidance, developmental disorders, and eating disorders. With several years of experience in both specialized health services and the private sector, I have worked with a wide range of issues, problems, and therapeutic approaches for people of all ages. Additionally, I serve as an expert member in the County Board.

In the Therapy Room There can be countless reasons to seek therapy, and it can feel both vulnerable and daunting. Whether you are facing major life changes, relationship challenges, or struggling to manage daily life, I aim to create a safe space to explore difficult topics and provide you with tools to handle them. I believe that setting aside time to understand yourself and your functioning better is key to making lasting changes. When working with children and adolescents, I focus on building relationships and trust by meeting them on their terms.

As a therapist, I am active and engaged, balancing between being empathetically supportive and explorative/challenging. My goal is to help you sort through your thoughts and feelings and to be a supportive partner in your process.

Method In therapy, I use techniques from various approaches, and we work together to find what suits you best. It is important to me that you, as a client, find the therapy meaningful and that it helps to attend the sessions.

I have experience with:

• Emotion-Focused Therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

• Psychodynamic Therapy

• Psychoeducational Techniques

• Trauma-Sensitive Approach
