Jen Lindstrand, ACMHC
Hi, my name is Jen, and I’m thrilled you’re here. I’m an associate clinical mental health counselor here at Flourish who is licensed to work with clients in Oregon and Utah. As an integrative therapist, I take a holistic, whole person approach to therapy. I strongly believe in centering my clients' lived experience while guiding with compassion, respect, and the belief that all humans have limitless potential.
I work on telehealth, primarily with teenage and young adult clients, usually between 7am and 4pm MST, though this varies depending on the day. I have Google Calendar scheduling set up so that you are able to easily choose a therapy day and time that works best for you.
I am passionate about working with teens, college students, and young adults on life transitions, difficult family situations or romantic relationships, healthy boundaries and self empowerment, adoption, disordered eating, and trauma. I also love working with athletes such as ultra runners, rock climbers, snowboarders, and anyone trying to keep their passion for competing alive while balancing a busy life.
As an integrative therapist, I tailor my approach to meet your needs. This can include somatic work, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic theory, feminist theories, and liberation psychology. I also take a systems approach, which means I pay close attention to the political, social, and environmental systems surrounding you that impact your lived experience.
I am originally from Madison, Wisconsin and have been fortunate enough to live on both the east and west coasts since then. I graduated from New York University with my masters degree in mental health counseling and I am currently training with the Beck Institute to become a Beck Institute CBT Certified Clinician. I also have training in narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, emotionally focused therapy, and a variety of trauma related treatments. Clients often ask me if I grew up LDS and I did not, though I have worked with many LDS clients. I am spiritual, valuing nature and the interconnectedness of all beings. Nature tends to be my sanctuary and I am an avid runner, backpacker, and snowboarder.
Beyond my clinical training, I graduated from Northwestern University with a masters in public policy and global health, have taken masters level course work in anti-human trafficking and exploitation, forensic psychology, and victimology, completed a post bachelor’s degree in marketing from UCLA, and have a bachelor of science degree with majors in psychology, social science broad field, and business administration. I am deeply passionate about work that empowers historically undervalued communities, and helps people collectively and individually.
I am also a person who stutters (PWS) and as a therapist, I love working with people who stutter, as there is often a large psychological and emotional component to stuttering. It is something that I find is largely misunderstood by society and having a therapist who “gets it” can make all the difference. Therapy with me will be compassionate, nonjudgmental, and supportive of your lived experience, no matter what.
If you are considering therapy with me but have questions, please feel free to email me at Jen.l@FlourishTherapy.org. Fit between a client and therapist is so important, and I will do my best to answer your questions as you figure out your best fit.
Whether we meet in session, or we never have the opportunity to meet at all, I want you to know that your lived experience matters, your voice matters, and you deserve to live a full life where you feel that you can be your most authentic self.
Wishing you all the very best and be well.
