Welcome!
My Name is Kristin Linder-Brown, OTR/L, SEP — a dual-credentialed Occupational Therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, one of the only providers in Minnesota combining these two approaches for adult trauma care. As your sole therapist, I offer a body-based path to healing when talk therapy alone hits a wall — helping you move through stuck patterns using sensory and nervous-system-informed techniques, so coping skills aren't just learned, but truly integrated into your everyday life.

Who I Serve
I specialize in providing compassionate occupational therapy services to adults in the community. My focus is on individuals facing stress, anxiety, PTSD and difficulties in daily living. I aim to build awareness and resilience, enabling clients to engage in meaningful activities and relationships. My flexible scheduling includes both in-person and virtual options, ensuring seamless access to the support you need.
Two Integrated Approaches
Your Unique Journey to Wellness
Somatic and Sensory Approaches
Sensory interventions for nervous system dysregulation focus on engaging the senses to help individuals regain balance and calm. Techniques may include deep breathing exercises, grounding activities, and sensory-rich experiences like using textured objects or calming scents. These approaches aim to soothe the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and promote a sense safety. Somatic Experiencing, as a healing modality for PTSD, emphasizes the connection between the body and mind It encourages individuals to become aware of bodily sensations and feelings, helping them process traumatic experiences safely. By integrating mindful movement and sensory awareness, Somatic Experiencing supports the release of stored trauma, enabling individuals to heal and reclaim their sense of self.
My Holistic Approach
With my expertise in somatic experiencing and occupational therapy, I provide a perspective that empowers clients to achieve their individual goals. My approach focuses on helping individuals fully integrate coping skills into their daily lives, ensuring that these tools are not learned but applied effectively in real-world situations. Together, we will work towards complete healing, fostering resilience and personal growth every step of the way. Your journey towards wellness is my priority, and I am here to support you in every aspect of that process.
What Is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational therapy is a personalized and client-centered approach that empowers individuals to fully engage in their daily lives. As an occupational therapist, I can help you apply helpful information and coping skills directly to your everyday experiences. Together, we will create individualized care plans that focus on restoring your ability to manage the roles and tasks that matter most to you in your own environment. By enhancing emotional wellness and establishing supportive routines, we can foster resilience and your journey toward recovery.
