Getting to know Linda Skale
Having served as a psychotherapist for over three decades, my specialty lies in helping adults and seniors through issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the lasting impact of trauma and grief. I respond to the unique needs of each client, delving into how past happenings and unresolved conflicts shape their current circumstances, always aiming to make life more fulfilling and significant.
As a grandmother to a child with Autism, I am personally familiar with the intricate systems surrounding a diagnosis and the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies it. I pay special attention to this aspect in sessions, striving to make clients feel seen, understood, and empowered, while balancing seriousness with moments of lightness and connection.
My interest in trauma work was piqued while facilitating a women's group early in my career. Most members were survivors of sexual abuse or trauma. Their resilience amidst pain led me to concentrate on trauma work, which now includes all genders grappling with PTSD and other trauma effects. Similarly, supporting people through their grief process has become a defining part of my practice, making room for individuals to express their pain and honour their lost loved ones.
Sharing space with you as a therapist, my goal remains to meet you where you are, engage meaningfully and thoughtfully, fostering a secure environment where you can explore your conflicts and concerns. I want to be of service, not merely in problem solving but in providing care, presence, and understanding.

After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit.
