Piper Linssen

About

Piper is a Licensed Professional Counselor In Training (LPC-IT) at Lighthouse Counseling

Center.

Piper brings experience from a variety of mental health settings, working with children,

adolescents, and adults. She has facilitated groups in inpatient programs for adults,

supported survivors through nonprofit domestic violence organizations, and worked with

children in day treatment programs, among other settings. Piper now works in outpatient

therapy and provides virtual, school-based mental health services. This diverse

background allows her to meet clients where they are and provide care that is

compassionate and tailored to each person’s unique needs.

Piper’s approach to therapy is supportive, nonjudgmental, and client-centered. She strives

to create a safe space where clients feel heard and understood while tailoring care to each

individual’s needs. She integrates an awareness of the mind-body connection to support

holistic healing and focuses on building clients’ strengths and resilience. When

appropriate, she incorporates creative expression to support emotional exploration and

processing. When working with minors, she values collaboration with parents and

guardians to strengthen family relationships through an attachment-based lens.

Outside of work, Piper enjoys reading and practicing yoga. She is a proud cat mom and

loves spending time with family and friends.
