Also, she has knowledge of other theoretical approaches and will work to see what fits each client and their issues. My focus Linda's specialties include working with individuals across many socioeconomic backgrounds, with inclusion in bilingual Spanish-speaking communities. Linda believes that therapy is a critical path in helping people overcome serious issues like depression and anxiety. Other issues that may be a focus in therapy include: eating disorders; grief and loss; and sometimes, transitions of any kind can be difficult as well. My communication style Linda provides a safe environment for each client to freely be able to express themselves about their issues.
