Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

I see therapy as a collaborative and healing process. I view you as the expert on yourself. It is my job to gently shine a mirror and assist you in your empowerment and growth. During therapy sessions my clients are like a river. The therapeutic process is a kayak floating on the current provided by your thoughts and feelings. I am the paddle. I will steer, guide, and help you get unstuck but you determine the direction and the pace at which the process flows. My practice utilizes an integrative, process-orientated approach that is trauma informed and client centered.

“The willingness to show up changes us. It makes us a little braver each time” (Brené Brown). I collaborate closely with my clients, empowering them to find their voice, share their truths, and connect with their inner strengths. Through various techniques tailored to each individual client, we'll navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace. I work with adults, couples, families, and teens, including but not limited to relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, narcissistic abuse, self-esteem, and other issues.

"Time does not heal all wounds; it just gives them space to sink into the subconscious, where they continue to impact your emotions and behavior. What heals is going inward, loving yourself, accepting yourself, listening to your needs, addressing your attachments and emotional history and following your intuition" (Yung Pueblo). I partner with my clients to help them find their voice, tell their story, re-engage their strengths and cultivate new ways to stay mindful and grounded—no matter what life throws at them. I work with couples and adults suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship challenges and LGBTQI-related issues.

Are you struggling to find meaningful connection or fulfilling relationships? Do you find yourself going back to toxic situations despite your better judgement? Are you generally feeling lost or alone? If any of these questions resonate, I can help. I specialize in working with relational issues and intimacy disorders. In addition, I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, lack of connection and trauma. I also work with women and couples experiencing reproductive difficulties, fertility intervention and postpartum adjustment. Additionally, I often work with high achievers and perfectionists.

I am a clinical psychologist with experience helping people with a variety of life challenges. I work frequently with personality issues, trauma and dissociation, OCD, as well as a wide variety of other concerns. I believe that psychodynamic/psychoanalytic therapy offers the best opportunity for emotional growth and to develop a deeper understanding of who you are. I am also trained in CBT, DBT & ACT, and integrate elements from these perspectives in my work.

I believe strongly in creating a safe, open and non-judgmental environment in order for individuals to feel comfortable expressing themselves and to work through difficult and complex issues. I am a therapist bilingual in English and Mandarin, and I have experience working with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief and loss, family and relationship issues, life transitions, amongst others. I work mainly with adults and adolescents.

Struggling with addiction. Survivor of trauma. Creative. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're fearful about the impact sobriety might have on your creativity (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're trying to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're confused as to why your insight & sensitivity aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel. What do you do if your pain is too great to manage on your own?

Everyone has a life story filled with unique colors. Each color represents personal experiences, strengths, behaviors, relationships, and our inner world. Sometimes we find it hard to navigate through challenges and to face realities, which are unfamiliar and/or unexpected. Prior experiences may interrupt our current way of interacting, thinking, relating, and managing daily life. Stress contributes to increased anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, and relational issues. Trauma can debilitate individuals, couples, and families creating abrupt internal changes and fears. Grief over individual loss needs to be honored and acknowledged. Change occurs as a direct result of uncovering new insights.

Do you find it hard to stop overthinking? Do you worry about what others think? Or maybe you never feel good enough. I promise you, there is relief. Therapy can help you have freedom from your worries. Therapy can improve how you respond to distress and uncertainty so you can live your best life.

Hi! I am Linda K. Laffey, LMFT37134. My goal as a therapist is to connect with you in a way that results in you feeling heard and understood.

When you’re experiencing the full chaos of living, it can be hard to find ways to meaningfully show up for yourself. As an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, my goal is to open a space for you to pause, take a breath, and feel understood as you connect with who you are and where you are in the moment. I work across the lifespan with children (ages 5+), adolescents, and adults looking for a safe and nurturing environment to explore their multifaceted identities, relationships, and past/current/future lived experiences.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues or trauma? Do you feel like nothing has helped you feel like yourself again? I can help you explore these frustrations as we work together to help you achieve your best self.

I work with clients in a trusting, supportive space — helping individuals and couples fully explore the present by identifying triggers from their past. Together, we explore patterns of behavior that are no longer serving you, and help to create healthier ways forward through a holistic, collaborative approach. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, dating, codependency, grief, cultural identity, and life transitions; and I approach therapy with empathy, humor, and respect for each client’s individual needs. My role is to help you create a greater sense of well-being and self-love. Let’s see what is possible!

Are you seeking clarity, peace, and stability? Perhaps you have been to therapy before and are seeking a new approach. Maybe you feel trapped by big emotions, anxiety, or trauma and can’t see a way out. Through my own healing, constant curiosity, and rigorous training I have developed an approach that allows my clients to thrive.

My clients are vibrant, intelligent women and LGBTQIA+ community members who sometimes face challenges regulating their emotions, controlling their impulses, maintaining their relationships, and being compassionate toward themselves. I also see people who struggle with overthinking, mood fluctuations, and low self-esteem. Often, folks reach out after experiencing a loss or in the midst of a conflict or transition. I work frequently with arts and entertainment professionals, corporate leaders, and those whose loved ones have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).

Challenges with communication? Struggles with sex and intimacy? Are you questioning or exploring your gender and sexuality? I am here to support you and offer you tools and a place to process your current experience. I provide a safe space to explore who you are becoming and to discern old thought patterns that are no longer of service. I provide a healing space free of judgement and offer tools that you can immediately integrate into your current experience. I will collaborate with you and work with the intersections of your unique experience.
