I am a clinical social worker in Charleston SC.

Since then I have worked for over 30 years assisting people with numerous live problems and psychiatric illnesses. In the early 1990's I started on of the first HIV support groups in Atlanta. Also have done some contracting work with the Department of Defense working with active duty military in bases in Germany, Norway, and Greenland!

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.
