Linda has over 28 years of counseling experience - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an Advanced Clinical
Practitioner credential. She is a trained mediator and certified in couples counseling with the Imago Relationship Institute. Linda is
credentialed with the American Association of Christian Counselors and with Focus on the Family. She is also
trained in Solution focused couples counseling. Linda provides professional counseling for couples, families,
and individuals.
Linda offers a comprehensive three part evaluation for couples. The couple is typically seen together for the
first 45 to 50 minutes. They then have the option to each attend an
individual 45 to 50 minute evaluation giving them the opportunity to increase their comfort level and discuss
concerns without having their partner present. Couples sessions allow ample time to learn and practice a specific
safe communication model. This model allows couples to address the underlying, or root issues that affect their
current relationships. Linda integrates a cognitive model into her couple's sessions. She uses a cognitive model
in working with individuals. A cognitive model teaches awareness of thoughts that contribute to emotional
discomfort. Linda then coaches individuals in how to change distressing thoughts so they become free of emotional
distress.
Linda has developed a unique approach to meeting client needs by providing personalized service and attention.
This approach moves beyond the conventional session structure providing you, the client, a greater opportunity to
utilize the tools and insight gained in session. Linda's goal for clients is to move through counseling in the
most efficient way without a requirement for long-term, ongoing therapy. This result-oriented approach helps
