Linda Pitale

My communication style

It's essential that you feel safe and trust me with anything you share. I'm supportive and encouraging, aware that changing patterns is challenging. I help you understand how old behaviors once helped but may no longer serve you, making space for new, rewarding patterns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always wanted to help people. From running errands for neighbors as a child to offering advice to friends and family, supporting others has been central to my life. Pursuing advanced training has deepened my ability to provide meaningful therapy.

My goals for you

We'll establish goals in our first session, focusing on relief from what brought you to therapy. Goal setting is collaborative and evolves as self-awareness grows. I'm empathetic and supportive while encouraging exploration of new behaviors that may feel uncomfortable at first but ultimately lead to growth.

Our first session

Our first session is where we get to know each other. You'll share why you're seeking therapy now and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask about past therapy experiences to understand what was helpful. At the end, we'll decide together if we want to continue our journey.
