Linda is a great therapist, I have never felt so heard by anyone. She made me realized of how trauma affected me everyday and gave me tools to cope. I am still working on myself but I feel hopeful about the future which I didn’t before. I can’t thank her enough.

Linda is wondering and has been a blessing to have her to talk to all of these months. I feel like she really hears me and speaks with me honestly.
Written on Jun 05, 2023 after therapy with Linda for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, and self esteem
I've had a hard time connecting with therapists in the past, but I immediately felt comfortable with Linda. Rather than spending the whole first session introducing myself and my situation, she came into it having already read my profile. She listened to what MY goals were for therapy and lead the session with that. Linda is personable, realistic, and thought-provoking in the best way! 10/10

Linda has been a God sent for me. She is on top of her work, knows what to say and how to challenge me. She remembers detail so you don't feel like strangers each time you meet. She is always on time for meetings and checks in if she thinks to much time has past. I was luck to find Linda on second search for a therapist. We each need someone to connect with , she was mine.

Linda is a great listener and helps drive the conversation in a healthy direction. Navigating major change takes a skill person to hold the wheel and with Linda helping, it shines the light on the root issue.

She is a good listener....which is very helpful. Although, this was my first session, I appreciated having someone to listen and hear me out about matters that are important to me. I feel like I am on working my way back to becoming centered again.

Linda has been a wonderful support for me in a time where I needed an extra hand. She is a great listener, naturally compassionate, and gives insightful feedback. She is well versed in working with people with chronic illness/ disabilities while combining helpful support for mental/emotional well-being. She has encouraged me to advocate for myself and has given me a safe space to chat about difficult life issues. Thank you Linda for your support.
