Hi, I am Linda Gendron, LCSW. That is a fancy name for therapist. I hope to empower you to grow and empower yourself. I am person centered and like to go from your lead.

I have worked with LGBQI+, those in domestic or interpersonal violence issues, grief and aging issues. I believe in educating the client to what is happening in their own lives.

No one knows how hard it is to be in a relationship until you're in one. You love each other and want to make it work, but lately, your relationship has felt difficult. As you navigate together through different chapters in life, you're noticing more differences. You didn't realize that you have different communication styles, or that your values are more different than you thought. You’re not quite getting your points across, no one feels heard or understood, and your conflicts get in the way of truly seeing one another. You’re tired of having the same conflicts. I get it, it's exhausting.

Hello, my name is Holly Myrick. I have seen that by living in this fast-paced and modern society, many of us have become more isolated from our community and from ourselves. I understand that significant stressors we face such as grief, illness, breakups/divorce, trauma, anxiety, depression, bullying, you name it, can make us feel even more isolated and disconnected resulting in a vicious cycle of hopelessness and feelings of brokenness. My passion and goal as a therapist is to guide my clients in feeling reconnected within themselves and their surrounding community through a collaborative and existential approach.

Life seems intense, overwhelming, or stressful right now. Fear, anger, and exhaustion are familiar emotions. Your parent/boss/spouse just doesn't get it and you don't know how to explain it to them. Perhaps you're questioning your identity, coming out to your family or to your child(ren), experiencing separation/divorce, ready to transition, or coping with loss. You want a safe place to discuss and leave behind feelings of loneliness, sadness, and confusion. You want to figure out a way to get through the week (the day!) and the next. You want relief. You want to be understood. Let's talk. Your first phone consultation is free.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist who cares deeply about my clients and their healing.

There is always hope! Our painful life experiences have a way of making us feeling exhausted and unworthy. We can lose sight of our dreams and our authentic path. Trying something new and opening up seems like the last thing we may want to do, but maybe it is exactly what we need. Spending quality caring time on ourselves with the support of a caring therapist can create healing and movement in our lives. We all need validating safe spaces to remind ourselves how valuable we are. We can't truly give to our loved ones unless we are giving to ourselves.

Making the decision to seek therapy is very admirable. It means, "this is tough right now, I'm not sure how to navigate this on my own", and "I need some support and coping skills". It does not mean that something is wrong with your or you have failed. Be proud that you are ready to work towards a happier healthier you. In my practice, I work collaboratively with my clients to set goals and help them to feel understood and become the best versions of themselves.
