Linda Towle

When two psychiatrists in my community retired, I took on their patients because there was simply no one else to fill the gap. Five years later, I still approach every visit with that same sense of responsibility. I practice in Santa Rosa, California, offering phone, video, and in-person appointments. I specialize in medication management for anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I take a thorough approach to monitoring treatment safely, including routine use of standardized assessments to track how you are doing over time. My goal is to make psychiatric care feel less intimidating and more collaborative.

I combine close attention to medication safety with standardized mood and symptom tracking at every visit. I take time to understand the full picture before making any adjustments, and I involve you in every decision about your treatment. Psychiatric care works best when it is direct, consistent, and built on trust.

In our first visit, I focus on getting to know your history, your current symptoms, and what has or has not worked for you before. I use standardized assessments to establish a clear baseline, and I will walk you through any medication considerations in plain language. You will leave with a clear plan for next steps.
