Linda Ibitz

My communication style

I am nonjudgmental about parenting challenges, meeting parents where they are, and understanding both the challenges of parenting as well as the challenges that children come to us with. I am curious and value the power of relationships with each person. I enjoy sharing information and empowering parents.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been a children's therapist for over 30 years. I have seen the powerful effects of early intervention, having someone present and able to connect with you and not judge you. I have both professional training and life experience that help me relate to both the child and parent experiences.

My goals for you

Together, we will develop achievable goals to identify your child's needs and how we will work towards meeting those needs. I will explain the purpose of the interventions. I will track your child's progress and meet with you to discuss their progress.

Our first session

I usually meet with the parent by phone before the first session. The first session is a chance to learn how the child identifies what they need help with. It's an opportunity to introduce the child to what we will be doing in future sessions, get to know what they like or don't like, and begin to build a trusting relationship w/ parent and child.
