Linda Callahan

My communication style

I'm a very interactive therapist. I like sessions to feel more like a conversation than an interview. I'm compassionate and empathetic, but I can also be very direct. When honesty is given with empathy in a safe space, it can be very healing. I'll tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a very early age, all I ever wanted to do was help people. Like most therapists, I've had things to work through, and the journey has had its ups and downs, but I wouldn't change anything. Therapy has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done, both personally and professionally.

My goals for you

Collaborative goal setting is how I work. You need to let me know that the goal works for you. Therapy is about what you want and need, your goals for yourself, not my goals for you. Sometimes you need help deciding what your goals should be, and we can work together to find them if you're unsure.

Our first session

Our first session will include an intake where we'll discuss your history, what you're looking for, and what brings you to therapy. We'll discuss your goals, session rules, and set up a preliminary treatment plan. It's a history-taking process and getting to know each other to decide if you'd like to move forward.
