Linda Summers

My communication style

Coming to therapy can be hard, and feeling safe and respected is essential. I create a space where you can openly discuss your dilemmas without fear of judgment. Feeling accepted is a must in our therapeutic relationship, because you deserve to be heard and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was mentored by two wonderful psychologists who affirmed what I believed about myself: that I was designed to help others grow. I could not imagine any other vocation. Assisting individuals of all backgrounds to become more effective in their lives and relationships has been both challenging and deeply fulfilling.

My goals for you

Establishing goals for your progress is essential to effective treatment. This process begins in our first session and becomes more defined as therapy progresses. We'll build on your strengths and chart a doable course forward that honors where you are and where you want to be.

Our first session

In our initial session, I'll focus on developing a safe and affirming relationship while gathering important information about your current circumstances and history. By the end, I'll summarize what I've heard and offer recommendations about a way forward. You can expect thoughtful questions and careful listening.
