Psychotherapy Provider Long Island, NY 

Linda Girimonte, LMHC 

^{Founder & Psychotherapist}

Linda is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of specialized experience in psychotherapy. Her focus lies in helping women overcome anxiety and heal from trauma. With a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and an Advanced Certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis, Linda brings a wealth of knowledge to her practice. Her diverse experience includes supporting individuals with emotional and behavioral disorders and assisting families in homeless shelters, deepening her understanding of human resilience.

In her approach to therapy, Linda embraces a holistic perspective, recognizing the vital connection between mind, body and spirit. She utilizes evidence-based techniques, with a particular emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Linda creates a warm, judgment-free space where clients can express themselves authentically and learn practical skills for daily life. Her goal is to empower women with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges confidently.

Linda's expertise in anxiety and trauma therapy for women has given her unique insights into the challenges women face today. She goes beyond symptom management, working with clients to understand root causes and develop robust coping mechanisms. In trauma therapy, Linda employs a gentle, patient approach, creating a safe space for women to process their experiences at their own pace. Her aim is not just to help clients heal from past wounds, but to help them grow and thrive

On a personal note, Linda's life outside of her professional practice deeply informs her work as a therapist. She is married with a daughter and a beloved dog, and she deeply values the time she spends with her family. Linda finds peace and rejuvenation in nature, with mountains and lakes being her favorite retreats. These experiences in nature not only provide her with personal balance but also inspire her to encourage her clients to find their own sources of peace and grounding in the world around them. Additionally, Linda finds solace in her faith, which provides her with strength and perspective in both her personal and professional life. While she never imposes her beliefs on others, she is open to incorporating spiritual elements into therapy sessions if clients express interest or if it naturally arises in the therapeutic process. This openness to spirituality, combined with her professional training and personal experiences, allows Linda to offer a truly holistic approach to therapy, addressing not just the mind and body, but also the spirit for those clients who find this valuable. Linda's personal journey of growth and self-discovery continually enhances her ability to guide others through their own transformative journeys, making her not just a therapist, but a compassionate companion on the path to healing and self-realization.
