First session
The first session is a get-to-know each other meeting. You can ask any questions you have about Linda’s education, experience, what to expect in the therapy process. You can ask about the forms you filled out, or her philosophy about therapy. She will ask you to tell her in your own words why you decided to start therapy now, what you are looking for, and what you hope to achieve in therapy.
Strengths
Linda is known as non-judgmental, helpful, caring. Her main concern is what is important to you. She will respect and honor your opinions and decisions. Linda actively participates in your therapy work. She uses her training and experience to guide you in a kind, gentle way. Her goal in your work together is that you learn ways to develop confidence and trust your own perceptions, intuition, and decisions which in turn leads to healthy relationships with yourself and others.
Ideal clients
If you want to have more clarity about who you are, understand how life experiences have and continue to show up in your life, have symptoms of anxiety or PTSD, or behaviors you’d like to change…if you are in a relationship that is not what you want it to be…this includes your relationship with yourself, let’s talk. We can work toward you having a more meaningful life.
Treatment methods
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Linda studied Mindfulness and Meditation through the UCLA MARC program and on her own for over 20 years. She has led mindfulness groups and day-long retreats. She believes that mindfulness and meditation are essential practices for holistic well-being. She suggests a daily 5-minute guided meditation practice using an app such as CALM or HeadSpace. Research has shown that consistency, not how long each day a person meditates, has the biggest positive effect. For clients who need more guidance, Linda will demonstrate in session mindfulness techniques or use Clinical Hypnotherapy—always your choice.
Hypnotherapy
Linda is trained in Ericksonian Clinical Hypnotherapy methods. She uses hypnotherapy for relief from anxiety and racing thoughts, somatic awareness, and developing confidence.
Positive Psychology
In 1999 Martin Seligman, a psychologist and then president of the APA, asked “Instead of looking at what’s wrong with people, what if we look at what’s right?” and thus began the Positive Psychology movement. https://positivepsychology.com/who-is-martin-seligman/ Every major university since then has dedicated research dollars to answering that question. In therapy with Linda, she will guide you toward asking yourself the same question: What’s right with you? What are your strengths? What do you want more of?
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Culture affects everyone. Linda encourages conversations about racism, ageism, LGBTQAI, gender bias, classism and ways resultant discrimination, feelings of not belonging, feeling less than affect you.
