As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Helping others find hope is my favorite part of what I do. I am professionally licensed in both Georgia and South Carolina. My experience includes both in patient clients and private practice. I have much experience working with severe and persistant mental illness as well as less severe mental issues. such as coping, stress, anxiety, adjustment issues, communication issues etc. I have experience working with all populations to include children and adults.
I am passionate about serving people helping to rebuild trust, restore relationships, and move beyond struggles with trauma, addiction, intimacy, depression and brokenness.
Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.
Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.
I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.
Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.
Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Savannah, GA
Finding postpartum therapists in Savannah starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training or listed specialties in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or postpartum support. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and after birth.
Savannah is a smaller market, so the number of local postpartum therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options, especially if your schedule changes often, you’re arranging infant care, or you’re recovering physically. As you review therapists in Savannah, compare appointment times, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and whether they’re accepting new patients. Reading each therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum care before you book.
Therapy in Savannah can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway connects you with therapists who are accepting new patients and lets you filter by insurance, specialty, availability, and session format, making it easier to review bios and book directly when you’re ready.
