I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 over 30 years of experience in the mental health field and have worked with clients at all ages of the lifespan. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Indiana University. I am licensed to practice in the states of Florida, Arizona, Indiana, Missouri and Alabama.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Rebecca Lindquist, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in clinical practice. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Kansas and began my career in medical social work. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with adults and older adults in a variety of settings. I am dedicated to supporting individuals through some of life's most important and vulnerable moments. I also founded a self-care group for local social workers 6 years ago, born out of a need to keep our community healthy. By prioritizing my own self-care, I'm able to be fully present, responsive, and emotionally attuned in our work together.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life or weighed down by past experiences? Whatever you’ve been through, you don’t have to face it alone. As a licensed clinical social worker specializing in PTSD, attachment, and family systems, I’m here to help you uncover your strengths, heal from trauma, and create meaningful change.

I have dedicated my career to helping others since graduating from Truman State University in 1994 and later earning my Master's degree from Lindenwood University. Throughout my career, I have been passionate about supporting individuals and families through life's challenges while helping them discover hope, healing, and resilience.

My experience in the social services field has provided me with the opportunity to work with a diverse range of populations and settings, including juvenile services, foster care, behavioral schools, residential treatment facilities, substance abuse programs, and career development services. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the unique challenges people face and strengthened my commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to quality mental health care.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, and depression. I am trained in several evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, DBT, CBT, and TF-CBT. Because every person's journey is unique, I tailor my approach to meet each client's individual needs, drawing from a variety of therapeutic tools to help them achieve meaningful and lasting change.

Together, we work to build on existing strengths, develop healthy coping skills, and create pathways toward emotional wellness and personal growth.

When I am not working, I enjoy being the proud mother of two wonderful young men. I am actively involved in my church and community and cherish spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy watching basketball, swimming, and taking advantage of every opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and warm-weather activities.
