Meet the Owner, Consultant, Supervisor, and Psychotherapist
Linda Espinoza, LCSW, EMDR-C, PMH-C, RYT-200
(She/Her/Ella)
Linda’s connection to the mental health field comes from a deeply personal place — as a first generation female-Latinx born in the USA to Ecuadorian parents and the first person in her family to attend college, she grew up with many of the common challenges that female-Latinx folks face, especially regarding the taboo around mental health. Linda has experience providing psychotherapy to a wide range of folks across inpatient, outpatient, and shelter facilities. She’s motivated by seeing her clients make positive changes and have cathartic moments. To anyone who’s nervous to begin therapy, Linda wants you to know that “Seeking mental health treatment doesn’t mean you are broken or crazy, but rather that you are a powerful being that needs tools to live the best version of yourself.” In her free time, Linda enjoys spending time with her two children, cheering on her son playing soccer, exercising, hiking, traveling, watching Netflix/Hulu, and getting a good laugh or good cry.

“I’ve seen many therapists over the past ten years, but none have come close to the experience I’ve had with Linda. I’m genuinely grateful every single day that I found her. Linda is compassionate, reasonable, and incredibly patient. She creates a space where I feel safe, heard, and never judged. Her thoughtful guidance has helped me work through my depression, anxiety, and trauma in ways I never thought possible. She’s not just a therapist, she’s been a true anchor in my healing journey. I can honestly say that my life has changed for the better since working with her!”

Testimonial
“I’ve been working with Linda Espinoza for the past two years, and I can honestly say she has been instrumental in helping me navigate some of the most challenging periods of my life. Through her guidance and support, I’ve made significant progress in managing my PTSD, anxiety, stress, and anger. Linda has equipped me with practical tools and strategies that have truly made a difference in my day-to-day life. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and creates a space where I’ve always felt safe, heard, and understood. What stands out the most is that she genuinely cares—about your well-being, your progress, and your growth. I’m grateful to have found a therapist like Linda and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, and effective mental health support.”
Testimonial
“I was really struggling to believe if I would ever get better with handling my anxiety and depression. I was at a point at just accepting that my life will just always be filled with weight and despair. I don’t know where I would be right now if I had not reached out to Linda. With her help, I found my voice and confidence. Not only do I have a better understanding of my mental health, but I have also gained different skills and techniques to manage stress , triggers and flashbacks. I can’t believe how much has changed within such a short amount of time. I am forever grateful my path crossed with hers.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Linda a few years ago. During my time working with Linda I learned about crisis management and interventions, safety plans, effective coping strategies, time management, intake, termination, goal setting etc. During supervision, Linda always provided a safe and comfortable space to discuss cases, questions or concerns. She was also always open to exploring a range of topics and or current events. I truly enjoyed my experience working with her and would recommend any ACSW looking for a supervisor to consider Ms. Espinoza.”
