She was super kind and truly wanted to know everything you were willing to give. She answered all my questions and gave honest feed back.
I’m happy to start my journey towards healing with Lindan. When you see a therapist you immediately feel the connection or lack thereof; I felt both comfortable and excited to embrace her methods and path towards wellness.

Lindan is great. I instantly felt comfortable around her. She is down to earth and has a friendly nature. Her approach is attentive and caring. I would definitely see her again!
She seems to have a cool style of therapy where she is interactive and engaging. It's a two way street and she promotes that. After one visit, I like her!

I love Lindan! She always made me feel comfortable and always had the best solutions to help me. I felt like I mattered to her personally (like I wasn’t “just another client”) I highly recommend her. She’s amazing!
Lindan is an extremely qualified, skilled, and TALENTED therapist. She is, in my opinion, doing what she was born to do. You can see that innate purpose in the quality of her work. Her mastery of the social sciences, human psychology, and the practice of mindfulness was evident and blatantly demonstrated in her ability to break down my behaviors and thought patterns, allowing me to get to work on my life instead of being stuck in ruminative cycles of self-loathing, which were nothing short of what I would call actual Hell. Although she is very sweet and personable, she takes her job very seriously. She conducted therapy in a very practical way for me, which is what I needed, and we got a lot done because of her active approach. I have seen many therapists. It is a rare trait to be that aware. In addition to helping me mindfully tackle my mental health issues, Lindan played a HUGE role in my road to recovery from drugs and alcohol. She is objectively spiritual in every positive sense of the word. Honestly, I was convinced I wanted to take my life prior to meeting and working with this woman. If not for her, I cannot say I would be here today. If you are willing to put the work in, or even half willing, she cannot only enable you to remember who you are and why you want to be alive, but also help you live in that perspective. I thought I had lost that forever. Take it from me, a once hopelessly suicidal alcoholic and drug addict. Blessings and Namaste ????
I was put at ease immediately and felt free to share the good and the bad each week. There were clear goals and we worked together to reach them during each session. I always left excited and energized to tackle the next week and whatever challenges lay ahead. Simply a wonderful experience.
