My surgeon told me that I needed an evaluation from a therapist before I could have Gender Reassignment Surgery, and that it had to be a therapist who had a significant relationship with me. "Significant" meaning several months at a minimum. I felt like this was going to be just one more barrier. But I am so happy I came to Linda's practice. The therapist I'm working with has been very affirming, she has really helped me see myself more clearly and realize that this is definitely the right step for me. I wish I had known her when I first came out to my family. Linda has also been helping me with all the paperwork: the letter for my surgeon, the ton of paperwork for the insurance company, changing the gender marker on my state identification, she's just doing it as part of the whole process. I'm not getting an extra bill for it. And at every step, I have not been a "case" or a "patient" or a "Trans", I'm a whole person. They just treat me like a regular person. As someone who has been gender non-conforming since I was 13, it's a pretty nice feeling.

Over the year and a half that I've been coming to Linda's practice, my anxiety level (the thing that brought me in) has improved immeasurably. But for me, that was just the start. I'm not just less anxious, I'm more happy. I am a better husband, a better Dad and a better worker. This winter I had a particularly traumatic experience, and I started having anxiety attacks again. My therapist, Nora, referred me to one of her colleagues, Andrew, who is an expert in Bio-Feedback. What he taught me about managing my own physical reactions to stress was life changing. After a few sessions with him, I went back to working with Nora. Who, by the way, has an amazing ability to create a sense of safety so I can talk about what's going on. She has great insights into the big picture, not just the smaller details of what's going on in my life. For me, it's been a great experience. Great.

Linda and her team are very absolutely wonderful! I have been seeing Elanor for a few months and have made some significant progress in terms of my overall personal health and the strength and health of my relationships. The entire team is incredibly professional, and empathetic. I feel very comfortable and understood here. Even when I had issues with my insurance, the entire team made sure to put me and my well-being first -- we are able to handle everything else after. I cannot endorse them enough!

Through my work with Linda, I was able to find the confidence and strength I needed to turn my life around. Her knowledge and kind demeanor allowed me to create a safe place to examine my life's journey and the relationships in it. In addition to her therapeutic skills, Linda always made it clear she was here to help me in any capacity, so at times that meant looking at paper work and filling it out together or working with my budget to continue my therapy. Overall, I highly recommend Linda if you are seeking to find or create ease or comfort in your day-to-day life. She is a knowledgeable practitioner who has years of experience and many gifts to offer.

I worked with Ladi to help me overcome my anxiety issues, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. She was extremely patient and endearing when listening to me and offered insightful skills and exercises to help me work through the problems I was facing. After only 2 sessions with Ladi, I felt empowered and refreshed to face the anxiety that once crippled me and made it hard to get through everyday tasks. I cannot thank her enough and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a “tune-up” to help identify and conquer their anxiety.

I initially came in to work on relationship issues. My partner was physically and emotionally abusive to myself, my daughter and our fur-babies. I began to understand the cycle of power and control and how he was controlling me through fear and intimidation. With help, I was finally able to leave him. I learned to ask for help and be able to accept this help. I even filed a number of domestic violence reports and this helped in custody of my child where he only has supervised visitation. I can now understand my self-worth without him in my life. My daughter and I are living in peace and tranquility. I have also learned how to be a better parent through positive parenting training. This has been a life changing decision and I am so happy to be here.

This is my third time seeing her and I'm really looking forward to continuing therapy, and SO happy I was able to find her on ZocDoc. She thinks of things I never would have thought of, and is really good and putting the pieces of the puzzle together for me. Never condescending, never robotic, while also being respectful of boundaries. Thank you, Linda, for being so amazing and helping me through this difficult time.

I have been made to feel special throughout the entire process. I was pretty nervous when I went in and my therapist made me feel comfortable right away. They handle all the insurance issues for me and that alone is a huge worry off my back. Thank you so much for offering such caring services.

I sought out Linda with the hopes of meeting someone who is incredibly empathetic and very communicative as well as interactive and I was happy to have found exactly that. My first session was great and despite needing to go over some initial background information of what brought me there, I found the setting and her presence to be very comforting. It was easy for me to open up and speak my mind without feeling judged in any way. Prior to this I was meeting with a gentleman that didn't offer much feedback and that I was reluctant to open up with. Seeing Linda brought a new light to psychotherapy where she pointed out where I was minimizing my efforts when I should be proud of my progress. I will certainly be seeing her again for future sessions.

When I had some insurance issues, Linda went above and beyond with me to figure it out, and that spoke volumes to me about the personal level of care that she has for the patients in her practice. The office itself is lovely, filled with really unique art yet has a very relaxing vibe. Emily is incredibly warm, easy to open up to, and truly listens and responds in a helpful way. We do art therapy together which is new for me, but having an art background I find it incredibly positive. I feel that she takes my history and current afflictions into consideration and has tailored little mindfulness exercises for me during our sessions, which I find not only helpful but such a wonderful sign that she understands the nature of what I am trying to get help with. She even welcomed my partner to come in for a session after I had explained that we were having major communication issues, and she helped us both so much. I feel extremely lucky to have found this practice and my therapist after having my fair share of negative therapy experiences and would highly recommend them. This is a gem.

I can't say enough about how thrilled I am to have found Linda after looking in my network for so long. I couldn't find a therapist anywhere downtown who would take my insurance. Her office staff helped me understand my insurance (for the first time) and they take care of all the billing and paperwork. Thank you Linda!

Although it was my first appointment, I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Garcia-Rose. She was very friendly and easy to talk to but set clear boundaries to establish the professional relationship, which I appreciate. She also understands that finding a psychotherapist depends heavily on the patient so she didn't pressure me to book another appointment at the end of our initial meeting, but because of her ability to connect with a usually guarded person (AND her therapy dogs!) I gladly did. I look forward to working with Dr. Garcia-Rose on a weekly basis!

Linda is simply incredible. She made working with my insurance SO easy and u stressful. She has amazing emotional intelligence, she's an excellent listener, and she's not one of those cliche therapists who says "and how does that make you feel?" after everything you say. She gave me incredible advice I can actually apply to the issues I am going with, and she tells it like it is (in the most professional way). I am definitely coming back to her. Oh and her office is beauitful and spacious with an amazing view of the water. I really really like Linda's style. Haven't looked forward to therapy until I met her.

This practice is incredible. Ali, my main therapist, taught me the skills I need to cope with anxiety and depression that I've been dealing with my whole life. We uncovered a lot of root causes for my anxiety and came up with skills to deal with them. Ali made me feel incredibly safe and secure. She is by far the best therapist I've ever had. The practice itself is conveniently located so getting there was always a breeze, and the space itself was lovely and calming. Highly, highly recommend.

Ruschelle was fantastic and therapy has been transformative for me - I would certainly stick with her if my employer's insurance plan hadn't changed. This was my first experience in therapy (long overdue). She is a very empathetic and compassionate listener, but also very sharp and rational in guiding you through your feelings and helping you reach insight. She was very helpful in talking me through finding and transitioning to a new therapist as well, and I'd certainly recommend her to anyone seeking a safe space to talk, especially those trying to deal with trauma and family issues.

LINDA GENUINELY CARES. I’m going through one of the most traumatic situations I have ever experienced. This is the type of situation that neither friends nor family can help. One night I was spinning, I felt like I was suffocating of sadness. I needed to talk to someone who was objective to my situation, a professional. I needed advice. I researched on ZocDoc for a therapist, I found Linda. All her reviews were so positive. Unlike other therapists I have seen, she doesn’t just let me talk and then end every sentence with ‘and how does that make you feel?’ She actually states her opinion based on what she hears you telling her, she provides input and guidance. And she never makes me feel judged. Her mission is to help me understand what I want, help me understand the reasoning behind my behaviors. This has helped me feel less ashamed and guilty for my actions and more sure of myself. This has also helped me stop certain behaviors that are negative to my well-being. I have been seeing her now for six months. She is creating such a positive effect on my life. She is making me feel so appreciative for all that I have. She is helping me realize what I want out of life. Linda is a psychotherapist because it is her calling. She became a psychotherapist well after she was well-off from another career. She is a psychotherapist because she wants to help people, because she genuinely cares.
