Just send me a message—I’ll do my best to find a day and time that works perfectly for you.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I love to dive right in and start working together! In our first session, we’ll begin with a brief introduction to get to know each other. From there, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing so I can better understand your needs. Together, we’ll start creating a personalized plan to guide our work in future sessions. Note: If you can’t find a convenient appointment time? Just send me a message—I’ll do my best to find a day and time that works perfectly for you.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my key strengths is my ability to meet clients where they are, offering a safe and non-judgmental environment characterized by unconditional positive regard. This supportive approach fosters encouragement and helps clients effectively work toward achieving their goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I genuinely enjoy working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. It’s incredibly rewarding for me to witness your growth and to be part of your journey as you navigate through life’s challenges. Together, we can create a path toward healing and personal development that resonates with your unique experiences.

My treatment methods

Christian Counseling

I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to best meet your individual needs, including Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Anger Management, Trauma-Informed Care, Family Systems Therapy, and other supportive, evidence-based methods tailored to your unique situation.

Biofeedback

Similar to Biofeedback, I incorporate the Bio-Acoustical Utilization Device (BAUD). This sound generator helps relieve and erase negative emotions, especially for those who prefer not to engage in extensive verbal processing.

Faith based therapy

I provide Christian counseling upon request, drawing from my many years of faith and my experience working for a ministry for eight years. I am happy to pray with you as you navigate whatever may be troubling you. This comprehensive approach ensures that you receive the most effective support for your journey.

We chose Mrs. Linda H. because of her faith based counseling and treatment methods fit our needs. In addition, she specifically mentioned she has a non-judgmental environment in her counseling sessions which was important to us due to past trauma from a former couples therapy session over 14 years ago. We have been in prayer together for the best counselor and healing process for us and we believe God answered those prayers. God is great and awesome!

Arrived broken & confused. Less than 8 wks in, I'm more clear & confident despite some rabbit trails; Im finally on a healthy path forward. Ms Linda is an open-minded, Christian, seriously NOT judgemental. She respects & honors my request for direct honest feedback. Her intelligent solution oriented input is delivered w/ empathy, clarity & doable steps to support 💯 REAL progress. The impossible IS possible w/ an authentic relationship w/ Yeshua, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. John 3:16-17. 🫶🙏🕊
