I’m Linda Orji, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over Eleven years of experience in health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals with both medical and psychiatric conditions, which deepened my understanding of the powerful connection between the mind, body, and overall well-being.
I view therapy as a collaborative process where clients are invited to make sense of their experiences in a way that feels authentic to them. Rather than directing the process, I focus on creating a supportive environment where individuals can speak openly, reflect at their own pace, and gain insight into their thoughts and emotions. In the midst of busy and often overwhelming daily life, having intentional time to pause and look inward can be a powerful part of personal growth.
Creating room for reflection can open the door to new perspectives and a deeper awareness of internal experiences. As clients begin to better understand their emotional responses and patterns, they often find greater clarity in how they relate to themselves and others. This increased awareness can support more intentional decision-making and help guide the next steps in their personal growth.
I love counseling – both giving and receiving. For over 40 years, I have helped adoptive families utilizing my law and counseling degrees.
The counseling aspect spans a wide range of populations, including tweens, seniors, singles, couples, and multiple family members.
I met my wife at graduate school while working on my Master’s in Social Work, and we have since adopted three children.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Forest Hills, NY
Searching for therapists in Forest Hills starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Forest Hills has local therapy options, but the right fit may depend on schedule, office location, and appointment format. If nearby offices around Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, or Forest Hills Gardens have limited availability, virtual sessions can expand your options across New York. As you narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Forest Hills can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who match your preferences and are available for in-person or virtual care. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for care in Forest Hills. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
