I haven't got the words to describe how helpful and caring Linda is. She's blunt about what it takes to become a mentally stronger person and doesn't hold back on what it will take to better your situation which is what I personally needed to hear. Once she realized that's how I needed to hear the solution to my problem. Shes byfar the best therapist I've ever had. Shes not there to waste your time and collect the money, but is actually there to help you through your problems and get to the solution. To get you on a better mental track as fast and thoroughly as possible.

Linda brings a wealth of experience and a variety of modalities to working with her clients and is truly a Master in the Art of Therapy. She invites trust and offers deep and consistent compassion while also offering skills to help scaffold healing. She inspires confidence both in oneself but also in her ability to address the concerns brought to therapy. I highly recommend Linda for anyone who is serious about their own healing.

Linda has been a life saver to me.
She is compassionate, and listens to me. She sees my struggles and celebrates my triumphs right along beside me.
I was feeling so defeated in many ways when I first came to better help. One thing she said to me was ,"Promise me you will never quit trying."
She is right along beside me, to help thru or have me look at things differently.
She questions me, and makes me really think about things very deeply.
She wants me to feel like my old self again too.
I am blessed to have her.
