Linden Psychotherapy

A Growth-Oriented Approach to Mental Wellness

My practice focuses on helping adults navigate life transitions, high-stress situations, and various psychological challenges. I treat individuals, couples, and small groups in a warm and collaborative environment.

Who I Work With

I work with adults 25 and older facing various issues including:

• Life Transitions: Culture shock, immigration, coming out, new parenting, separation/divorce, and career changes.
• High-Stress Situations: Dealing with mortality, death, loss, estrangement, and grief.
• Burnout & Compassion Fatigue: High-stress careers where burnout, vicarious trauma, and moral injury are prevalent.

My Approach to Therapy

I utilize depth psychology and existential philosophy principles to facilitate personal growth and transformation. My style is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I believe in meeting clients where they are and collaborating with them to identify and achieve their goals.

My Background and Expertise

I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work from New York University and completed a post-graduate fellowship at Yale University. My diverse experience includes working in:

• Community clinic: Treating individuals with acute mental illness.
• Therapeutic school: Working with young people with emotional and social difficulties.
• Hospital: Supporting patients with cancer diagnoses and end-of-life care.
• University: Teaching psychology courses.

My Philosophy of Therapy

I view therapy as a collaborative process where I act as a mirror, reflecting your thoughts, feelings, and experiences back to you. This process helps you see yourself in new and more nuanced ways, enabling you to make conscious choices for positive change in your life.

My Values in Therapy

I believe in creating a safe and respectful space for you to explore your concerns and vulnerabilities. I value:

• Empathy and Compassion: I approach you with understanding and genuine concern.
• Collaboration and Agency: Our work is a shared journey where you are actively engaged.
• Ethicality and Respect: Your privacy and autonomy are of utmost importance.

My Commitment to You

I am dedicated to providing you with a transformative therapeutic experience. I focus on creating a genuine and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your deepest concerns and achieving lasting growth.
