Linda Laffey, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi! I am Linda K. Laffey, LMFT37134, and I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate Institute. My goal as a therapist is to connect with you in a way that results in you feeling heard and understood. I want to understand why you are seeking therapy at this time and work collaboratively with you to develop a treatment plan that will help you achieve your therapeutic goals as quickly as possible. My areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, EMDR, eating disorders, relationship issues, and Somatic Experiencing. I look forward to working with you! My approach I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach to connect with you, with the basic goal of understanding how you feel about what is happening in your life at this time. I will be gathering information that will lead to different ideas about a possible treatment plan. Once we reach a point of understanding, I will share those ideas with you, and together we'll discuss an approach that makes sense as we move forward. My focus The types of clients I work with vary quite a bit. I have worked with adults of all ages who grew up with child abuse or neglect and are currently suffering from complex PTSD. They may be experiencing issues with family members, coworkers, or in solitude. I have worked with many young women and a few men battling eating disorders and/or body dysmorphia. Additionally, I have supported many adults of all ages dealing with anxiety, stress, panic disorder, depression, and relationship issues. I work exclusively with adult individuals. My communication style I strive to create a safe, comforting, and friendly environment for my clients. When working with me, you will have my full attention focused on you and your goals. When appropriate-and only when appropriate-I may use humor as a therapeutic tool.
