After a period away from therapy, I decided to come back to work with Linda. She’s an amazing therapist and her experience and kindness are unmatched.

My experience with Linda was a lot helpful. She helped identify underlying cause why I was stuck in a timeline in my head and unable to move on into better experiences. Although I didn't completely lose the pressure or anxiety for the fear of the unknown, I was able to move past the painful loss of a relationship. I am healthier, better and saner now in mind and body. Thank you betterhelp, Thank you Linda.

I've only had a couple of sessions so far, but I feel like Linda understands me and my situation quite well. I feel better after talking with her.

Linda is a very down-to-earth and easy to talk with. I didn't feel any judgment opening up and explaining my situation and how I've been feeling as a result, even if I felt like my issues were small in comparison to other peoples' situations.
