Do you feel like no one sees you or your pain? Do you feel misunderstood and alone in your thoughts? Are you navigating through life holding on to emotional pain and circumstances that leave you feeling alone or out of control? Living with all of these thoughts, feelings and emotions can be overwhelming to our daily routine and function and just having another person to walk this journey of life can create healing and new perspective.

Contrary to what many people believe, not all adversity is bad. Over coming challenges produces strength in character, improves competency and leads to joy. Trauma occurs when adversity in life outweighs our available resources. As a EMDR and Trauma Certified therapist, I also incorporate techniques informed by the Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) & Somatic Experiencing (SE) for a bottom up approach. However, my main goal is to remind you of what we all intuitively know - that healing can only happen within the context of emotionally safe relationships. You are safe here.

For over 10 years, I have devoted my time and shared space with many individuals on their personal journeys in finding their own voice, rhythm, and self-compassion. Life is fast-paced, and it is easy to inherit or build narratives about ourselves and our journeys that do not allow us to embrace our true nature. Depression, stress, self-doubt, unfulfillment, shame, trauma, negativity and regret can often serve as barriers in becoming who we are truly meant to be. Many of us continue battling these struggles on our own, when surrendering and sharing with another is the beginning path to freedom and clarity.

Hi. I'm Linda. I'm a therapist in Huntington, WV; and I was inspired to become a licensed therapist because people naturally confide in me; friends, family, strangers. They came to me when they were going through hard times. As a therapist, I often work with people who are at a crossroads and struggling with making the right decisions. I work with those who are seeking to get some relief in their battle with anxiety and depression. I help people make progress in their recovery, or to pick up the pieces after a relapse. I work with clients that are seeking to do more than just cope with what life is dishing out.

I strongly believe that everyone is unique and everyone’s story is unique; therefore, different approaches are essential in working with a wide variety of people. I am a true believer in the concept of “words shape beliefs” and, in that vein, saying “I do not know” or “please help” are powerful words since vulnerability often leads to growth and healing. One of my favorite quotes is by Viktor Frankl who said "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves."

I am here to help you heal the distress you are feeling coming from anxiety, depression addiction, trauma, PTSD or family problems. It can be hard to connect with a therapist at first. You don't know this person and how are you going to feel trusting and secure with a stranger? Yet you are in pain and need help. It is just a first step, one that does not have to lead to commitment. You are in charge and are simply "auditioning" to see if this connection feels good and helpful.

My passion is helping women and birthing folks move from surviving to thriving.
Parenting can be stressful and overwhelming. Add onto that the other "hats" you wear in your life: employee, spouse, caregiver to adult parents... the list goes on. You keep seeing videos online about ADHD and wonder if that could be you. You're chronically stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, touched out, are having physical health problems, have ZERO libido, and are struggling to find who you are postpartum. You're looking for a psychotherapist who "gets it," with lived experience of the stress that parenting can bring, and is truly trauma-informed.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
