New to Grow
Hello, my name is Linda Pelosi. I am a LCSW-R and I thank you so much for stopping by my profile. I am very excited to see if we are a great fit. Seeing couples is my niche and I have been doing it for 35 years. Over the years I have gained so much knowledge and wisdom from the couples that I see. What I bring to the table is the ability to see each one of my clients as a unique individual who is coming to see me because there is healing that needs to take place in the couple relationship. I am there with you every step of the way looking at unique ways to bring the couple relationship to a healthy thriving place. I look forward to seeing you soon.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
This is what a first session looks like in Linda Pelosi‘s therapy room. You will be greeted with open arms, acceptance, warmth, humor,and compassion. I will let you know how old I am by telling you I attended the original Woodstock. That always seems to break the ice with clients. I am seeing for the first time. As I work with monogamous couples as well as alternative lifestyle couples to include polyamory LBGTQ/kink relationships, I am open minded, non-judgmental, knowledgeable, and aware that couples come to me with many different issues than I am prepared to address. The most important thing is that we connect and feel comfortable working together as a team. I am very excited to meet with you and be on this journey with you.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is my 35 years of working with couples and families. I have learned so much from the clients that I see and I use that knowledge and wisdom to work effectively with the couples that are presented before me. Most of all it is my excitement, my warmth, my ability to be open minded that makes me an effective couple psychotherapist.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is one that is coming into interview me to see if I am a great fit for their relationship issues. This is my opportunity to let my potential client know who I am and what I bring to the table as a Couple Therapist. My goal is always to make each and every client feel comfortable and safe in a situation that could be nerve-racking. By the end of the first session, I have answered all the clients questions, concerns, and goals for couple therapy. I encourage all couples to go home and talk about their experience with me and make a decision that they feel comfortable with. I wholeheartedly hope I see you on my calendar. If not, I wish you the best with any decision you should make to heal your couple relationship.
Couples Counseling
My niche is to work with couples experiencing a breakdown in communication, leading to a lack of emotional and sexual intimacy. I achieve this as an extremely active therapist, empowering my clients through warmth, compassion, intervention, encouragement and homework.
Compassion Focused
In my experience, along with mindfulness person centered, and compassion focus therapy is a good balance of helping clients to work through their issues with a therapist that is completely accepting nonjudgmental and is able to show her own compassion towards the client no matter what is being presented.
Family Therapy
During a family therapy session, it is crucial and essential to be able to treat each person in the unit as a significant person in the treatment, having me their own point of view and being acknowledged for that and supported no matter what the issue that is being presented.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy has always been a priority in any session that I am involved with whether it be a couple or family or individual. My ability to accept and be committed to my client no matter what their lifestyle is a very important component in couple and family therapy
