Lynn A. Haller, LCSW, is a trauma-informed psychotherapist, educator, and author based in Pennsylvania. With over 25 years of experience in mental health and juvenile justice, her work blends clinical expertise with creative expression. Lynn began her writing career through treatment plans, court reports, and a youth-led newsletter, and now is working to bring that same passion to her trauma workbook based on Painting Celia by Maya Bairey.
The workbook uses Celia as a fictional “client” to teach emotion regulation, mindfulness, somatic tools, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-based skills. Rooted in her belief in Women Supporting Women, Lynn’s approach emphasizes healing through art, connection, and shared energy.
When she’s not writing or in session, Lynn can be found at the theater, at a concert, or out exploring nature by kayak or hiking trail. She lives with her daughter, a nursing student, in rural Pennsylvania.
