Hello, I'm Dr. Linda Chamberlain, a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Addiction Professional. I've been a practicing psychotherapist for over 40 years working with a wide range of populations and concerns. I know that making an initial contact with a therapist can be challenging. Congratulations on taking the first step! If we decide to work together, I'll want to get a deeper understanding of who you are and what's brought you here, how we can best work together, and your goals and aspirations . I value the unique perspective and experience that you bring to our collaboration. I'll want to find out about you and what you're hoping for when we begin therapy and invite you to ask me any questions you have. Building trust is so important to our relationship. I have experience and expertise that can be of help to you, but you are the expert on you. My job is to assist you in becoming the person you most want to be.
I use various approaches to therapy including humanistic/existential perspectives, cognitive approaches, Buddhist psychology, and mindfulness techniques. My job is to find out what is most helpful in assisting you to reach your goals. Change and personal growth is often challenging and sometimes extraordinarily difficult, but the transformation that can occur is so valuable. I have been honored to witness people emerge from the fear and suffering that constrains them and become more of the person they long to be. Therapy is the journey toward your better self. I am always delighted when I have the opportunity to be a companion, consultant, and guide in that process.
I look forward to getting acquainted and to our work together. I'm ready when you are....

Linda is marvellous. I can’t believe my luck that I can talk to this super experienced, knowledgable and extremely kind and gentle therapist. I feel so much better after every session and have concrete ways forward despite my complex needs. She’s exceptional and I recommend her whole heartedly.

I've been working with Linda for a bit of a while so far and she's very kind and understanding. I feel very understood by her and she seems to also get my humor as well which I find really amazing in a therapist. Very helpful

Dr Chamberlain has been instrumental in guiding me to a better place in my life.
She is gentle in her approach and has supported me the last 8 months through a very challenging time in my life.
Through our work together I am healing old , deep seated wounds which have caused me to
suffer and struggle throughout my life.
For the first time I am letting go of all the old stuff, habits, patterns which have caused so much internal strife and pain.
Dr Chamberlain supported me not just through sessions but also through continual texting support when the going was really really rough. I can truly say is she is a skilled and compassionate professional.
