My name is Linda Qualia and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas.
I commend you for your courage and commitment to self-healing, self-growth, and finding solutions to your concerns and challenges. You are taking an important step.

These include individuals undergoing major and minor life transitions, dealing with various levels of trauma, managing grief and loss, coping with chronic illness, addressing family and relationship violence, suffering with anxiety and depression, grappling with spiritual issues, and striving to lead a higher quality of life.
Each person perceives their life and their challenges in a unique way. I believe that everyone has distinct abilities and resources, as well as the capacity to develop coping skills that empower them when facing difficult situations.
My counseling style is to work collaboratively with compassion, kindness, honesty, and empathy, striving to create a safe space in which to explore concerns and to discover action steps toward resolution.

My counseling approach is client focused, utilizing skills and interventions that include, but are not limited to, humanistic therapy, strength-based solution focused techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness processes, interpersonal neurobiology, and body centered perspectives.

Linda has been and incredible resource through a tough season of grief and loss. With her guidance, I was able to navigate past grief that also surfaced and acknowledge my feelings surrounding it all. I found such comfort in her care, attention to detail, and challenge/goals set. She is an experienced practitioner and I would recommend her to anyone!
