About Linda
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor in the State of Florida. I earned my Masters Degree in Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2000. I have 20 years of professional counseling with a wide range of clinical training. I have been able to assist individuals, couples and/or families deal with life stressors with a focus on the presenting diagnostic issues: depression, anxiety, mood, domestic violence, child welfare, dependency, delinquency, parent/child conflict and trauma issues to name a few. I've worked as a Foster Care Worker, Child Protective Services Counselor and Protective Investigator in the State of Florida. I have years of experience working with the Court System, Educational System and other community providers. My counseling style is Eclectic Therapy with a primary focus on Client Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy models. I view myself as eclectic because my intervention style is based on the assessment process and what I see from an individualized standpoint is helping the individual/couple/family achieve their specific needs and achieve success. I am excited that you and/or your family have made a decision to identify life issues/stressors and seek help for the concerns that continue to be unresolved. This is truly tough love when we are able to hang in there and provide therapeutic support for each other. I look forward to the journal to success and being BETTER! :) Read more Show less
