Counselor – LMSWCC, LADC
Linnea Jan Purcell
Welcome to my Profile. A lot has changed since COVID-19 began. It has made life very difficult for many, in different ways, such as emotionally, spiritually, physically and financially. Some of us have very complex lives and some don’t. Sometimes we control our lives very well and other times, our lives are completely out of control. For some people, talking to family, friends, peers or coworkers just isn’t enough. Sometimes, you just need a bit more with someone who can relate and understand where you are coming from. In a nonjudgmental space, we can discuss these struggles, identify your strengths and work together towards change.
