Hello there! My name is Linda Burrell and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) for the state of Florida. I am also a Board National Certified Counselor (NCC). I graduated at the top of my class from Nova Southeastern University and interned at Harbor House (Domestic Violence Shelter). I have many years working in the federal government for the Veterans Healthcare System, Department of Army and the Department of Navy; serving the armed forces by assisting them with their mental health and career counseling needs. I have also worked in the Social Services arena for local agencies. I come with 12 years of experience as a mental health counselor working with adults, adolescents and children in both individual and group settings.
I assist individuals with a variety of issues (but not limited to) such as; PTSD, Military Sexual Trauma (MST), Substance abuse, Depression, Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders and family issues. I have also been extremely instrumental in helping those experiencing Domestic Abuse. My theoretical approach in most cases is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy; but have on occasion switched my theoretical approach to meet the current need of the client. I am a believer that no one shoe size fits all and that every client is different.
I am committed to working with you in helping you work through your issues. I am very genuine, empathetic and a strong believer in rapport building, trust and respect as the foundation for an effective client-provider therapeutic relationship. There may be times in the counseling session where exploration of thoughts, feelings, personal history and beliefs about one’s self may be uncovered; and at the moment it may not feel very good and even uncomfortable. However, together we can work through it. The success and outcome of the counseling depends on your willingness to be open, committed and involved in the process. I look forward to working with you; as we join forces together in helping you move towards your goals.

Linda is amazing. She has given me insight, and the tools to deal with my lack of motivation and self-esteem. She is a wonderful counselor, and I am grateful for her attentiveness, hard work, and dedication.
