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’m a licensed psychologist with training and clinical experience across inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, and private practice settings. I completed my PsyD at Hofstra University and have worked in hospital-based systems, as well as community and school-based settings.
I work with adults and adolescents facing a range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma-related difficulties, personality-related patterns, psychosis-spectrum conditions, and life transitions. I also have experience supporting individuals navigating identity development, relationship challenges, and long-standing patterns of emotional distress that feel difficult to change.
Across settings, I have found that people often come to therapy not just because of symptoms, but because they want to feel more understood, more grounded, and more connected to themselves and others.
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 believe that therapy can be an essential tool used to maintain a well-balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life. As a therapist, I find it important to create a safe and friendly environment. I strive to always be in tune with what you need and assist you in exploring whatever difficulty you may be experiencing.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Ridgewood starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — like anxiety, depression, OCD, or relationship challenges — or whether you're looking for a particular approach, such as CBT or DBT. Knowing your preferences upfront can help you narrow your options and feel more confident in your choice.
From there, look for a licensed provider who has experience with your specific concerns. In New York, common licenses include LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologist. If you think medication management may be part of your care, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help. Reading a provider's bio — including their style, background, and areas of focus — can give you a sense of whether they're a good match before you reach out.
Therapy in New York City can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider in Ridgewood who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
