Linda Skale

My communication style

I’m a thoughtful, empathetic, and nonjudgmental listener. I believe in creating a space where clients can feel safe, supported, and comfortable being their full selves. While I take my work seriously, I also think it’s important to find moments of lightness and connection—even laughter—along the way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I’ve always believed that one person can make a lasting difference in another’s life. For me, that person was a neighbor who happened to be a college professor and signed me up for college as a Home Economics major—before I even realized it. I quickly discovered I was far more interested in my sociology and social work classes.

My goals for you

Many people come to therapy knowing they don’t feel well, even if they’re not sure what their goals are. I believe in deeply listening to people’s stories and helping them uncover what they’d like to shift or understand more clearly.

Our first session

In our first session, I focus on creating a sense of safety and allowing you to share your story at your own pace. I ask questions to better understand your experiences but never push you to go further than you’re ready to. We’ll talk about any past therapy you’ve had—what helped, what didn’t, and what you’re hoping for now.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
