Linda Baird, M.A. is psychotherapist in private practice with
offices in Denver and Boulder.
She works with depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, PTSD, and relationship issues
including domestic violence. Linda offers a compassionate approach to
psychotherapy, encouraging clients explore how limiting beliefs and trauma
are held in the body, often below the level of conscious awareness. Her
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.
Linda incorporates a variety of
techniques, including movement; Hakomi methods for working with trauma,
shame, anger, boundaries, and developmental wounds; psychodrama; inner child
work; EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing); and methods in
yoga therapy including breathwork and supported postures to instill the
joyful expression of the authentic Self.
Linda brings a strong spiritual foundation
into her work, having studied in several traditions over the last 25 years.
Currently, she is a committed student of Anusara yoga.
Initially educated as a biochemist, Linda
worked as a research scientist for 16 years. She has extensively studied
brain chemistry related to emotional, psychological, and physiological
difficulties.
Linda holds a B.S. from the University
of Colorado and a Master's in
Liberal Studies, psychology emphasis, from Regis
University in Denver.
She trained at the Institute for Emotional-Kinesthetic Psychotherapy in Boston,
MA, and the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Institute (formerly Hakomi Somatics Institute) in Boulder,
CO and is a Certified Hakomi Therapist.
She has been a teaching assistant with the Hakomi Institute and in the
