Linda made me feel very comfortable from the start allowing me be open about what I’m really thinking and feeling. She has been a great listener, and always gives me helpful feedback. She is organized in her approach making it much easier for me to implement that feedback into my life. She truly has been a blessing for what I have been going through lately. And I can already feel a positive change in my way of thinking. She definitely knows what she is doing. I highly recommend her to everyone!!!

Linda is phenomenal. She is a compassionate and caring listener, who will provide the intellectual feedback you are yearning for. In my experience of only 3 sessions with her, I have already acquired skills in better understanding myself and others. I recommend completing the worksheets she provides. They help you reflect on each session, with a positive outlook in moving forward. Whatever your situation may be Linda is very open, accepting, and willing to help. She is just a great human being to her core. For once, I feel like I am not alone and I have never felt more positive about my life in a long time.
Thank you Linda.

Linda is a great therapist. In the short time I have worked with her, she's given me very tangible tools and resources to help me with my anxiety, as well as take gentle steps toward healing my past traumas. I don't feel forced to talk about anything that I don't want to, and she is great with feedback about what I'd like to dig deeper into, for our next session. I enjoy talking to her as she is a great listener and makes me feel safe as well as validated in my feelings.

Linda Gonzalez is a wonderful therapist. She is very knowledgable and helpful. And I feel very comfortable with her, somehow I can’t stop talking during our time together, which is weird for me. She’s great at asking questions that keep the conversation naturally moving, without prying. Linda has offered me wonderful advice and feedback about meditation, directing awareness and being present in the moment. I have seen a change for the better in the very short time I’ve been working with her.

Linda has a very gentle approach to her counseling style, very in tune to tech resources available (spotify) for free, and is just overall a very warm presence. It can be hard to convey that over video, but she definitely does :)
Written on Jul 27, 2020 after therapy with Linda for 1 month on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, and self esteem
Linda is a wonderful counselor, and even after only 2 sessions I feel very listened to and understood. As a queer person, it is refreshing to feel so respected and free to be myself in a situation where being yourself is key. My favorite thing about Linda is that she gets to the heart of problems instead of just treating symptoms. She also balances her advice and counseling with tools to use on your own, so that you are never left empty handed after a session. Linda is down-to-earth, and knows how to bring a splash of levity when it is both necessary and appropriate.
