Lynda McConn is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Dayton and a M.Ed in counseling from Xavier University. Lynda has over 30 years of experience working with adults, couples, and families exploring patterns that get in the way of meaningful connections. She works alongside clients dealing with various challenges, including grief, divorce, recovery from infidelity, parenting, women’s issues, anxiety, and intergenerational trauma.
Lynda began her career working with children with severe developmental trauma in a residential setting and then in a classroom setting through community mental health. Her past experience also includes providing therapy in an Employee Assistance Program setting for employees and their families from most major companies across the Cincinnati tristate area. During this time she completed advanced certification in Structural and Systemic Family Therapy, studied the Enneagram of the Narrative Tradition and completed an EMDR training. She has now been in private practice for over 10 years.
Lynda is certified as a Master NARM Therapist. NARM is the Neuro Affective Relational Model – a leading-edge trauma-informed therapy model for addressing attachment, relational, and developmental trauma by working with the attachment patterns that cause life-long psychobiological symptoms and interpersonal difficulties. These early, unconscious patterns of disconnection deeply affect how we relate to ourselves and our relationships with others. Learning to work simultaneously with these diverse elements is a radical shift with profound clinical implications for healing complex trauma.
Lynda will work with you to identify and understand attachment patterns and how they impact relationships, helping you have more secure and satisfying connections. By understanding your trauma-related symptoms and then developing skills for managing them, you can improve your self-regulation and gain greater awareness and and more readily shift your emotional/physical reactions. Healing begins with noticing patterns we have developed in the face of past trauma and creating greater capacity to connect to yourself and loved ones in an authentic way.
