“Dr. Akudo was incredibly thorough with her explanation of everything. I never felt rushed. She listened to me. I felt so safe with her and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Felt absolutely confident in my doctor as she clearly knew what she was talking about. Very approachable and clear, kind, and direct. My original doctor had a medical emergency, so I was placed with Lynda, and she did an amazing job.”

Do you feel extremely sad, empty, or irritable? Have you been feeling like the walls are closing in on you, and there is no way out? Unfortunately, many people who experience these symptoms feel ashamed or embarrassed to talk about it or seek help due to stigma. But this can lead to long-term problems. I understand that taking the first step to seek help can be difficult, but I hope you will take a moment and see how I can help you.
I hold a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of Texas at Arlington and a Bachelor’s degree from Texas Woman’s University, which equip me to provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your needs.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe that everyone has the capacity to change and grow regardless of their current situation. I believe in creating a safe zone for my patients. As a clinician, my job is to work collaboratively with you to design a plan that is best for you. if you want to learn more about how I can help you, send me a message.

Linda is the most amazing provider I have ever talked to. She listened to all my concerns and explained everything so well so I was able to get the help I needed. Will continue to see her to help with my medication management.
May 28, 2025Sandy G.Verified patientVideo visit
I had an amazing time! I know some providers will book many 10-20 minute slots and not give adequate listening time to patients. This was so far from that! I was listened to for a full 40 minute new patient appointment and was given multiple options to choose when it comes to my care plan.
March 19, 2025Jesse R.Verified patientVideo visit
Linda is so professional and such a great listener. She made me feel heard and I can tell that she truly cared about the things that I told her. She wants you to get better. Honestly, the best medical appointment I’ve ever had. 10/10 I highly recommend

Dr Akudo is kind, human, and knowledgeable. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually enjoyed seeing a doctor. Highly recommend.
August 29, 2023Ginger S.Verified patientVideo visit
Linda was an absolute pleasure to speak with. After unexpectedly losing my Dr, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do. I logged onto Zocdoc for the first time and based off her reviews I decided to book an Appointment with her. She listened to everything I had to say and really took into consideration my wants and needs. Linda is kind and polite, talking to her was so easy. Really looking forward to our next visit.

If you need help and want someone who truly understands what you are going through, book Linda.
She cares about her patients and want to get it right.
She doesn’t try to template match at all.
May 20, 2023Kiana L.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr. Akudo made me feel at ease right away. I have struggled with anxiety my entire life. It has been unbearable for the last few years. Dr. Akudo was extremely thorough, listened very well and was so caring. I have never had a Dr. that has seemed so eager to help! She gave me tips and tools to use and adjusted my medication. I feel hopeful and like there is some relief in sight. It is very reassuring to have someone be so genuinely concerned about your well being.
More than 1 year agoMichele G.Verified patientVideo visit
Amazing, definitely seeing her again.
More than 1 year agoInitials hiddenVideo visit
Linda blew me away with your professionalism and her communication of process. Linda made me feel seen and listened to. Linda asked questions and gave feedback for expectations in the relationship we will have going forward. I am excited to work with Linda in the future and grateful to have found her.
April 19, 2023Taylor H.Verified patientVideo visit
Listened to my concerns and my history with no judgment, and plenty of caring and concern. Conservative with med dosage, in a positive way. I really appreciate her approach of treating the specific symptoms of concern, rather than just hearing a diagnosis and slapping a prescription on it.
April 18, 2023Eliana W.Verified patientVideo visit
Best experience I’ve had with any doctor in general! She is super attentive, kind, and clear of what you truly need to help. Highly recommend to anyone!
April 6, 2023Vania S.Verified patientVideo visit
Absolutely wonderful, invested and personal care. I HIGHLY recommend Linda as a truly caring, thoughtful provider. I’d like to stick with her for all of my ongoing psychiatric care needs. Very informative and well rounded.
March 26, 2023Jenna H.Verified patientVideo visit
Dr Akudo was fantastic!! All the anxiety I had prior to the appointment melted away as we talked and joked and I really felt like she heard me and had my best interests at heart. Looking forward to continuing my sessions with her.
March 20, 2023Dustin D.Verified patientVideo visit
Linda is a caring & knowledgable mental health professional that takes the time to learn your specific history and needs to best identify how she can help. She even spent time with me before, discussing if my insurance would cover or if she was the correct type of provider that was the right fit for my needs—at no cost. I highly recommend her! She is one of the exceptional ones interested in providing you overall health solutions, rather than just prescribing meds that mask your symptoms and have added side effects unnecessarily.
March 10, 2023Cintia G.Verified patientVideo visit
Looooove her, she’s really straight forward and super sweet. Would definitely recommend to the raza out there looking for a psychiatrist who cares.
January 29, 2023Initials hiddenVideo visit
She was great. She asked me certain questions knowing I was out of network.
She cares more about my wellbeing then just a paycheck. Wish I could afford a cash visit.
January 18, 2023Rebecca R.Verified patientVideo visit
Linda walked me through everything prior to the appointment as I ran into issues getting into her portal. She was super communicative and very helpful. Very understanding of my needs and open to all options
