“I was a bit nervous prior to the appointment, however, Dr. Lewis put me at ease with her laid-back approach. She was warm and welcoming, and I felt comfortable opening up to her about my mental health concerns. She made me feel safe to share, and she went out of her way to build a solid foundational relationship. I appreciated her candor and her sensitivity to my circumstances. I look forward to working with her more in the future.”

Getting to know Dr. Linda Lewis

Are you stressed and overwhelmed by your health, your day-to-day life, or your relationships? As a Psychologist with more than 28 years of experience and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi, as well as being a two-time breast cancer survivor and a caretaker for my elderly parents, I can help you navigate health issues and life stresses more effectively. Life can be difficult for each of us at some point, in ways unique to our own circumstances. My goal is to help people through the tough chapters so they can move into better ones with additional tools to handle challenges and stresses. I don't view people as broken or needing fixing. We all need someone with whom to sort things through at times, someone who isn't part of our day-to-day mix. In therapy, clients develop more effective expectations by redefining their stresses and challenges, reduce emotional upset and distress by looking at their issues from a new angle, and feel empowered by trying new approaches to effective problem-solving. I would be pleased to walk this journey with you, to reduce stress and find a more satisfying approach to life. Available appointments are those set aside specifically for intakes. I see clients through Grow Therapy on Monday and Tuesday. I cannot complete letters, FMLA forms, or provide disability opinions for clients who have not been in therapy with me for at least several months. While I really enjoy working with individuals aged 65 and older, due to Medicare regulations, I cannot see traditional Medicare clients for self-pay. I can see seniors with Medicare Replacement plans accepted by Grow Therapy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Sessions involve an active dialog between my clients and myself. My goal is to best understand your life and then together we develop alternative perspectives and behaviors to reduce stress and improve coping. I generally give "homework" which is to implement something we together identified as a now approach during the session. You determine the goals which we work towards meeting. Please note that I do not provide opinions about disability or return to work or other activities for clients who are not well-established at the time that the request is made. Additionally, it is not within the scope of my virtual practice to address issues tied to psychosis, bipolar disorder, or borderline personality challenges.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
