Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Roanoke City County, VA
I believe that one of most valuable terms in the English language is: "journey." Being a licensed therapist gives me opportunities to participate in therapeutic journeys with patients of different ages, backgrounds, experiences, and presenting issues. I am eager to start embarking on a therapeutic journey with you. While on our therapeutic journey, I may play various roles. For example, I may act as a tour guide by helping you find different paths to resolving problems. I may also be the outlet for your emotions, and the challenging tool for change. Most importantly, I will be your source of support along the way!

Seeking therapy can be a little scary and, at times, overwhelming. Taking that first step will get you started on your journey to self-discover, find guidance, and look at new ways to assess your life, your relationships and your goals. Together, we will identify what is not working for you and help you get back into balance by assessing your needs and desires, setting realistic goals, finding your center and developing your creativity in identifying what works for you.

I’ve worked 30+ years as a therapist and am very lucky to have found my passion. I genuinely care about my clients and realize the therapeutic relationship is most important. My love has been nonprofit community mental health, and I have dedicated many years of service to nonprofits.

I'm Linda Franke, a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and APSATS-certified partner trauma specialist. I use body-based, evidence-informed approaches — including Deep Brain Reorienting and SE — to help adults move from chronic activation and freeze into genuine resilience.
