¡Bienvenidos! As a bicultural and bilingual counselor, I strive to understand your perspective and offer compassionate care.

You want to live in the present, yet you feel trapped in the past. Despite having aspirations, the grip of depression & anxiety have left you feeling stuck in a never-ending loop. You feel like you are just going through the motions of life, without any real purpose or joy. Depression drains your energy & motivation level. Anxiety gets you spiraling down a rabbit hole of negative thoughts, “if onlys,” & “what ifs,” leading to an endless stream of self-doubt & self-criticism. The possibility of negative outcomes & painful memories lead to a constant state of unease, making it difficult to appreciate the positive aspects of life.

One of my goals is to provide a safe environment so you feel comfortable discussing difficult life challenges. I guide you throughout the therapeutic process to help ease any anxiety regarding therapy. I utilize a strength-based approach to help you find healing through adversity. My work is motivated by my humanistic philosophy that empowerment exists in striving to meet full personal potential. I am passionate about helping others find healing, improve their quality of life, and achieve their therapeutic goals. I am qualified to work with first responders, physicians, military members, and those experiencing complex trauma.

Hi and welcome to my page, I'm so glad you are here! My name Maritza Linebaugh and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in trauma, depression, anxiety, life transition, attachment and grief. I began working as a counselor because of my own past traumas and hardships. Through my darkest days of depression and suicide ideations, I found Jesus. With God's grace, and other professional support, I learned the tools and skills to walk a life of freedom. Living a life full of hope and peace is my desire for everyone I work with.

Do you desire to be authentically seen and heard? Are you seeking a safe therapeutic space, and support in your journey of growth? I strive to offer individuals like yourself a safe space to show up as your genuine and authentic self and be met exactly where you are. We will partner together to identify your unique and desired treatment goals, and take steps to actualize the life you aspire to live. Much of my clinical work has been working with individuals suffering from symptoms of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, substance use, ADHD, eating disorders, adjustment issues, relational conflict, and thought disorders.

I've worked in the mental health field for over 24 years. I specialize in treating unresolved trauma issues, as well as depression, stress and anxiety. Traumatic issues include childhood abuse (physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect), sexual assault (including military), crime/theft, car accidents, grief/loss, combat, first responders/medical professionals, veterans (including moral injury) and poor leadership. My experience has taught me that most of the time depression and anxiety are unresolved emotional wounds that haven't been fully addressed.

Is there something that you use, say, think, or do, that you wish you didn't? Have you attended rehab or traditional therapy before, but still feel like you just can't get it right? Do you feel like you "have all the tools," but struggle to integrate them? Do you wish you could just STOP using, saying, thinking, or doing, all of those problematic things? Do you wish you could find the thing that could help? Would you believe me if I told you that the one you have been waiting for is you? Not the one that knows what to do; but, the one that is curious and compassionate. It is possible for you to heal and be your authentic self.
