About Linda
I am a licensed independent social worker based in Massachusetts with over 22 years of professional work experience in hospital, school and community mental health settings. I have experience in helping clients with issues including stress and anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, grief and loss, & depression. My treatment approach is primarily based on a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Client Centered Therapy. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
