You don’t have to minimize your own struggle

You are capable. Responsible. The one others rely on. You meet expectations. You show up. You push through.

As a physician, healthcare professional, or perfectionist you’re trained to show up no matter what. You push through fatigue. You hold space for others’ distress. You hold yourself to and meet high standards over and over.

But lately, something feels different.

  • You’re exhausted in a way that sleep doesn’t fix

  • You feel more irritable, detached, or emotionally flat

  • Your inner critic is louder than ever

  • You can’t seem to relax — even when you’re off

  • You feel guilty for wanting less responsibility

  • You wonder if you’re burning out… but tell yourself you should be able to just handle it

For many, burnout and chronic stress doesn’t look like you don’t have it all together - it looks like functioning, while internally feeling exhausted and drained.

You don’t need more productivity strategies or resilience trainings.

You need space to be human.

Two Ways to Work Together

Whether you’re seeking individualized support or a structured, skills-based program, both paths are grounded in research-backed strategies and practices.

Individual Counseling

In-person therapy in Columbus & Worthington, Ohio and online across Ohio.

Therapy offers a personalized, confidential space to explore anxiety, trauma, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the deeper patterns that keep you stuck in self-criticism.

Our work integrates:

This is not surface-level coping strategies. It’s deep, sustainable change that reshapes how you relate to yourself and stress.

Mindfulness & Self-Compassion Courses

Structured evidenced-based mindfulness and self-compassion based courses in Columbus and Worthington, Ohio.

If you prefer a structured, educational format — or are not seeking therapy — courses provide practical tools in a supportive group setting.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)
An 8-week evidence-based course teaching practical tools to respond to stress, failure, and self-doubt with kindness, compassion, and minfulness.

Self-Compassion for Healthcare Communities (SCHC)
A 6-hour course designed specifically for healthcare professionals navigating workplace stress and burnout.

Courses are ideal for individuals, healthcare teams, and organizations.

What makes this different

Practical. Evidence-Based. Deeply Human.

You don’t need surface-level stress management or another wellness hack or a course that overpromises and under-delivers.

You need support that understands:

  • The culture of medicine and healthcare

  • The impact of high responsibility roles on wellbeing

  • The psychology of perfectionism and people-pleasing

  • The quiet shame and guilt that makes asking for help difficult

Whether through individual therapy or structured mindfulness-based courses, my work is grounded in research and focused on helping you relate to stress, pressure, and self-criticism in a new way.

In therapy, that means personalized, depth-oriented support that goes beyond symptom management to explore the patterns, history, pressures, and expectations shaping your unique experience.

In courses, it means engaging in evidence-based, experiential programs designed for depth — where skills are practiced and integrated in a supportive, trauma-informed group rather than simply discussed.

Both paths are rooted in the same foundation: building sustainable self-care, emotional awareness, and self-compassion that supports your wellbeing.

Linnea Clouse, LPCC, LICDC, ATR-BC

I’m a licensed counselor and mindfulness facilitator in Columbus, Ohio specializing in supporting physicians, healthcare professionals, perfectionists and people-pleasers.

Over time, I’ve seen how often capable, compassionate adults quietly carry more than they should — emotionally, relationally, and physically. The strengths and traits that often make you excellent at what you do can also make it incredibly hard to prioritize your own well-being.

My work integrates evidence-based therapy and structured mindfulness-based courses to help adults build sustainable self-care, emotional awareness, and self-compassion that feels grounded and realistic.

Therapy with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and grounded in both science and humanity.

You deserve the same care you offer everyone else.

  • Therapy for doctors & healthcare workers experiencing burnout and stress. Learn to reduce burnout and emotional exhaustion in a confidential setting that understands healthcare culture.

  • Therapy for perfectionists & people-pleasers. Support for high-achieving adults tired of overthinking, overextending, and never feeling like “enough.”

  • Therapy for anxiety and stress. Learn to reduce and manage anxiety, stress, and overthinking. Feel more present in your life and relationships.

  • Therapy for trauma and to process the impact of past experiences in a safe, supportive space. Reconnect with a sense of safety, agency, and wholeness.
