Hi, I'm Linda. I'm a licensed mental health counselor who works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to help them navigate relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, grief, loss, and mood disruptions. I obtained my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from SUNY New Paltz and specialize in couples work, utilizing an Emotionally Focused Therapy approach.
I am a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist in New York State, with more than 30 years of experience in mental health, psychological assessment, trauma recovery, and public safety wellness. Born in the Bronx and raised in Queens, New York, I developed a deep appreciation for the resilience, diversity, and strengths of the communities I have served throughout my career.
My approach to therapy is integrative, trauma-informed, evidence-based, and person-centered. I believe effective treatment begins with understanding the whole person—not simply their symptoms. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness-based interventions, and insight-oriented approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to develop greater self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and create meaningful and lasting change.
I strive to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns openly and honestly.
Whether someone is seeking help for anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, occupational challenges, or personal growth, my goal is to help them build resilience, enhance well-being, and develop a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in their lives.
As an African American Psychologist, I work with people of all faiths, races and walks of life. As a Believer, I believe in the power of faith and therapy to help towards healing. It will be a blessing for me to help you on your journey.
Many people come to therapy because they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns they don't fully understand. My approach goes beyond addressing symptoms—I support clients understand the root beneath their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore the experiences, beliefs, relationships, and life events that have shaped the way you see yourself and the world.
