Lina Pranata, Ph.D.
Description of Counselor/Practice
As a woman of color, I am particularly honored to work with other people of color or marginalized communities. I specialize in working with oppression of all forms (race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientations, religions, nationalities, etc.), in addition to trauma (childhood, adult, intergenerational; sexual/emotional/physical), internalized oppression, its effects (perfectionism or under-functioning, anxiety, depression, body image/disordered eating, relationship/dating concerns, etc.), grief/loss, and life transitions.
I am passionate in working with therapists who are committed to their own healing, in addition to providing quality compassionate care.
I use attachment-based modalities (IFS. EFT IPT) and feminist/multicultural frameworks to provide compassionate care. I hope you will experience what it's like to be seen and understood, so that you no longer need to hang on to fear, anxiety, or self-sabotage that keeps you stuck. You are worthy of living a life of wholeness towards self-love, embodiment, and growth by transcending past/present wounds or trauma. You may not have all the power and privilege in this society but you do not have to give up your voice and the power within, or to oppress other vulnerable ones. I would be honored to help you become the empowered and more balanced and peaceful you, despite all the unrest and injustices in this world! I am happy to chat for a 15-20min free consultation.
