Getting to know Linda Hood
Hey there! I'm a passionate therapist who specializes in helping individuals and couples overcome deep-seated issues caused by past trauma and pain. My clients often feel that life threw them one (or more) unexpected curveballs, leaving them unsure, stuck, and repeating unwanted behaviors. Realizing there is more to life, my clients reach out seeking freedom, recovery, and nourishing relationships with themselves and others.
I hold a Master's in Counseling from Fordham University and have extensive experience working with clients dealing with a range of issues including codependency, addiction, eating disorders, body image and self-esteem challenges, separation/divorce, loss and grief, abuse, depression, and anxiety. I take a personalized approach to each client, tailoring my therapy sessions to your unique preferences, needs, and goals.
My ultimate goal is to empower you to take charge of your life, reclaim your power, and create positive change. If you're looking for a therapist who will support and motivate you to become the best version of yourself, let's connect!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Psychotherapy is a powerful tool. It can help you find the insight and skills needed to solve problems, feel better, and lead a fuller, richer life. My approach is warm, open, friendly and dynamic. I enter into relationships with compassion, honesty and respect; and create a space where you feel deeply understood. In each session we work together, we will explore experiences, process feelings, identify patterns and create a plan of action that moves you toward a healthier, happier you.

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.
