Linda Scaturro, LCSW
About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New York with over 20 years of experience working in Healthcare. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and age related issues. I feel is is vital to have support as we age, so that we can continue to be relevant and productive!
My therapy style is conversational, interactive and down to earth. I believe in active listening, and treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I use a patient focused, strengths based approach that helps to build life skills to enhance everyday life. Creating a safe, supportive environment for people to share their concerns is the first step in the healing process.
I believe our greatest resource is having a support network. Sometimes we have to step outside of our immediate family or social circle to get a fresh, objective perspective. This is a courageous first step toward living your best life. I look forward to walking these steps with you, setting goals, and seeing what can be achieved when we work together.
I look forward to working with you!

I have been in the care of a therapist on and off for the past fifty years of my life. I’m sixty years old and I suffer from chronic depression which originated from long periods of childhood trauma.
My wife recently passed away and I have also suffered a loss from a second breakdown in a relationship with a woman I loved within three years.
Back in August of last year I was in very bad shape. The depression was so severe that I was often unable to walk.
Yet from the start and through each and every minute hour and day I suffered, Linda has been there to talk with, listen to and most of all assure me that a light was shining at the end of the tunnel and that I was not alone.
I’m not exaggerating in stating Linda found time through out the day any day of the week to be there during those times when it really mattered.
And as a result of our mutual commitment to growth and peace I am happy and grateful to write this review for a very rare professional that truly belongs in this field of work.
