Hello! I am Linda, or Lin for short, and I welcome you to Emerging Paradox Mental Health Therapies LLC. I am an independently licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts, with over 15 years of experience providing mental health services, with individuals of all ages.
In my early career I was an exhibiting and teaching artist, having received a BFA in Art History and Photography. Initially I incorporated those skills into my clinical practice by studying Expressive Art Therapies and Multicultural Art Education and completing a MA at Lesley University. After working with youth and families for 10 years and being further trained in trauma, behavioral modification, family systems, CBT and other therapeutic modalities, I returned to college for more graduate work, receiving a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies (CAGS), rounding out my expertise in mental health counseling.
I am a nationally certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT) with training in DBT, EMDR and other evidenced based modalities. I have helped people struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, mood disturbances, RAD and personality disorders, crisis management, family and other relationship conflicts, educational advocacy, navigating systems of care, life transitions, confusion around careers and life choices and any other challenges a person feels is creating barriers to their life satisfaction.
I strive to meet people where they are at in a non-judgmental, supportive manner, encouraging people to set their own goals. I work hard to help others identify their strengths that they can build from and recognize the resources and supports around them. I encourage as well as challenge. I work to help others see things in different ways so they can identify and explore all their options. I support, but I do not tell, knowing that the only one who truly knows what is right for someone is them self.
If you are ready to explore change in your life, I am here to help. I look forward to meeting you.
