Linda Braddy-Argano, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Linda!

I help individuals navigate life's complexities. I offer Mindfulness, CBT, and EMDR therapy to support you through challenges and create meaningful change.

My focus

I work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, and chronic illnesses. I also have an extensive background in providing services to first responders and their families. For some people, EMDR services are provided to process unresolved traumas, anxiety, and loss.

My approach

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and challenges. I offer personalized therapy tailored to your specific needs, utilizing evidence-based therapeutic models of CBT, Mindfulness, Grief, and EMDR therapy.

My communication style

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment for each individual I work with. The first step is building rapport and trust to explore your thoughts and feelings. I utilize mindfulness and polyvagal techniques to create a sense of grounding and presence to tackle any distressing feelings that may be present.

My journey to mental healthcare

My early life experiences created in me a desire to support individuals facing challenges in their daily lives. I have worked with many populations to create a better sense of well-being.

My goals for you

In conjunction with you, we will work together to determine the goals of treatment and decide which modality most effectively addresses your concerns.

Our first session

The first session is a meet and greet. A time for you to share your experience and current state of well-being. Together, we will collaborate on the goals of treatment and plans to move forward. The hope is that you will also feel comfortable asking any pertinent questions you may have.
