BodyMind Integration

LINDA BAIRD, MA, LPC

I am a licensed psychotherapist in private practice with offices in Denver and Boulder, Colorado. I offer a compassionate approach to psychotherapy, encouraging clients to explore how limiting beliefs and trauma are held in the body, often below the level of conscious awareness. My practice is rooted in the principles of the Hakomi method: therapist and client work together to create a safe healing environment where change can happen organically through the encouragement of self-study and non-violence.

My specialties include:

• Trauma and PTSD
• Chronic illness, including fibromyalgia, IBS, and lupus
• Emotional struggles such as shame, depression, anxiety, and anger
• Relationship issues including domestic violence
• Couple’s therapy

I incorporate a variety of modalities, including the Hakomi method, Internal Family Systems, psychodrama, and inner child work for addressing emotional and relational issues; EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Sensory Motor Psychotherapy for trauma resolution and methods in yoga therapy including breathwork and supported postures to instill the joyful expression of the authentic Self.

My original educational background is in biochemistry, and I worked as a research scientist for 15 years. My extensive study of brain chemistry related to emotional, psychological, and physiological difficulties greatly informs my practice.
