Our Story
Alinea, meaning “a new paragraph,” is a symbol of beginnings—of stepping into the next chapter of your life with clarity, intention, and compassion. At Alinea Wellness Co., we believe that healing is not about erasing the past, but about writing forward with purpose.
Our name reflects the heart of our mission: to help you realign with your values, reimagine your path, and reclaim your voice. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, identity shifts, or emotional burnout, this is a space where your story is honored and your growth is supported.
Let this be your alinea—your new beginning.
Layna B. Thompson, LCSW
Owner and Psychotherapist, Alinea Wellness Co.
Layna is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in South Carolina, with a passion for creating affirming, collaborative spaces for healing and self-discovery.
Her practice, Alinea Wellness Co., is centered around supporting neurodivergent adults—particularly those navigating new diagnoses of ADHD or autism later in life. However, we work to support individuals from all walks of life—whether you're navigating identity, anxiety, life transitions, or simply seeking a quiet space to pause and reconnect amidst the noise of daily life.
With deep respect for the complexity and individuality of each client’s experience, Layna offers a compassionate space to explore identity, reframe self-understanding, and develop meaningful coping strategies.
Layna holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Armstrong State University and a Master of Social Work from Arizona State University. Her clinical background spans diverse populations and settings, including children with special needs, adults with developmental disabilities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and individuals impacted by substance use.
​
She uses an eclectic, person-centered approach that honors each client’s values, goals, and lived experience. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), humanistic psychology, psychoanalytic theory, solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology, Layna adapts her methods to support the unique needs of each person.
​
At Alinea Wellness Co., Layna’s mission is to help clients write the next chapter of their story—one that is grounded in self-trust, clarity, and emotional resilience.
