Linda Estergard, PhD, LCSW

I have been using EMDR for more than 10 years. I recently used EMDR in my dissertation research to reduce the emotional components associated with chronic pain. Time after time, I have witnessed the effectiveness of EMDR in healing the client’s trauma experience. I consider myself an interactive therapist. I make every effort to promote healing and to provide hope for my clients. I consider myself a strength-based clinician, so I encourage my clients to identify and use their strengths in making healthy life choices.

I am trained in numerous theoretical approaches, including, but not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, Psycho-dynamic and Family Systems. I incorporate EMDR into these modalities when it may be beneficial to the client. I have a particular interested in how our early life experiences shape our current experiences; More >>> however, I work with my clients to explore solutions that fit their personal situations and needs.

I have great respect for individuals looking to better their situations through therapy. I encourage my clients to recognize and use their strengths as part of their healing process. I provide a non-judgmental and caring environment in hopes that my clients achieve their therapeutic goals.  Close >>>
