Linda Bruno

Life can be very hard. Sometimes you just need a safe, welcoming space to feel heard and understood. I am a warm, collaborative therapist. After many years as an administrator, supporting individuals with disabilities and their families, I learned that what I most valued in my work was the people - so, in 2011, I became a Social Worker in order to more directly support individuals, couples and families through a wide range of life challenges and transitions. My focus is on helping people clarify their values and build lives that feel authentic, meaningful and empowering. Many of the concerns I work with involve grief and loss, parenting and family stress, health, aging and disability-related concerns, as well as navigating young adulthood. Together, we work to strengthen coping skills, resilience, and self-compassion to meet life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence.

I am a fully-present therapist who listens closely to identify your strengths. From this strength perspective, I firmly believe in each person's unique ability to heal and create a life of meaning.

The best predictor of a positive outcome in therapy is the fit between client and therapist. In this first session, you can look forward to a warm, welcoming and nonjudgmental space to determine if "it feels right" to you. If it does, you can expect to have a clear sense of direction and a collaborative plan for how we can move forward in a way that feels supportive and empowering.
