You are Welcome here!

I am so happy that you have taken the initiative towards nourishing your mental health. The nourishment can have many colors: working on interpersonal relationships, prioritizing emotional healing from trauma or wounds, learning how to discontinue people pleasing tendencies, seeking "coaching" for figuring out life goals or career changes. I look forward to learning about you. Therapy takes many forms - let's explore.

My name is Linnea Solomon, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I grew up in a pastoral family and my church was multi-cultural and multi-generational. Singing is one of my passions and I have been involved in worship with my mom most of my adult life. I am culturally competent, generally inquisitive, and always embrace diversity. I ask a lot of questions.  I incorporate Biblical perspectives in my practice (with clients who request it directly or express an interest in exploring God or religion during our work together). I am a faith-based therapist with a passion for people, and everyone is welcome. I thrive on working with clients from all walks of life. I am familiar with the 12-step model including the term "higher power". 

I graduated from Palomar College with technical degrees, Fullerton College with an AA in social sciences, California State University of Fullerton with a bachelor's in psychology, and University of Southern California with a Master of Social Work. I completed my one-year practicum at a telehealth private practice - my clients ranged from teens to older adults. I worked with teens in recovery for a few months after graduating from USC then transitioned to a treatment center working in dual diagnosis recovery. I have worked in dual diagnosis/substance abuse for the past three years.

I love animals and spending time with my tribe. My mom is my best friend. My favorite places are the Oceanside harbor, San Diego Safari Park, and San Diego Zoo. My favorite movies are Mulan (both animation and live action), Brave, Raya and the Last Dragon, Kung Fu Panda, and Frozen. Yeah, I have warrior vibes, so you are in good hands. My tribe is small and I cherish relationships. We were created to love and be loved and I hope you learn your worth during our work together. 

I will help you discover the pearl of self-love and rewire those negative core beliefs.  We will fill your mental health treasure box together until you can do so on your own. 

Life is a vapor: handle it with prayer, love, and care.

 Shalom!
