About
Twinflower Psychological Services, llc was established in 2010 and is the private practice of Linnea Swanson, PsyD., M.A., LMFT. Twinflower is a common name for the Linnaea borealis plant that was first named by the Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus. Linnea’s mother, a native of S.

Linnea identifies as a Korean/ Swedish American, cis-gender, heterosexual female. She is currently married and has a blended family with three amazing daughters. She was born and raised in Minnesota. Linnea completed a Bachelor of Science in Child Development at the University of Minnesota, a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling (Marriage and Family Therapy focus) and Doctorate of Clinical Psychology at Argosy University/Twin Cities.
