Linda Schmidt, LCSW

Linda Schmidt, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NJ
Parent/Child or Partner Relational Problems • Dating Violence/Abuse • Obsessions and Compulsions • Linda received her Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work in 2002 at Fordham University, New York. Linda is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor in New Jersey providing individual therapy to adults. She has over 20 years of experience in detox, inpatient and outpatient therapy programs, hospital/medical settings, long-term care facilities, and community mental health. Through these experiences, she has worked with many populations from various walks of life. Linda utilizes a blend of Cognitive Behavioral, Gestalt Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectic Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Psycho-Education with individuals ages 18 and up. Her theory is individuals who have the motivation to improve and courage to seek growth through vulnerability and hard work can accomplish all the goals they desire. She views the counseling process as an alliance between client and therapist and considers the clients as the experts of their lives. Within the structure of the therapeutic relationship clients can access their inner strengths and promote change. She also realizes how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their well-being including their physical health, support systems (family, friends, etc.), work or school environment, and faith/spirituality in this process. Linda can help you begin the process to improve your emotional health no matter where you are in life. Linda's goal as a counselor is to provide a safe space where the client can explore their primary interests, develop goals and determine strengths and assets as the client progresses toward their aspirations.
