Hi there, I'm Linda!
Hi, I am Linda Gendron, LCSW. That is a fancy name for a therapist. I hope to empower you to grow and empower yourself.
My approach
I am person-centered and like to go from your lead. We use a strength-focused approach to changing what doesn't work into what does work in our lives.
My focus
I have worked with children 5+ years old, teens, and adults. I have worked with LGBQI+, those in domestic or interpersonal violence issues, grief, and aging issues. I believe in educating the client about what is happening in their own lives. I believe in social justice and empowering others.
My communication style
I believe in positive yet straightforward interactions that give a person thought and make them question what is not working for them.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have worked my whole life to provide change and justice for those who feel disenchanted.
My goals for you
I want the client to guide the goals of therapy as this is their time.
My first session with you
That they felt heard and cared for.
