Linda Schartman, LPC

Mental Health Therapist

 

Hello! I’m Linda, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) dedicated to supporting your journey towards mental well-being from the comfort of your own space in Oregon. With a rich educational background encompassing psychology, sociology, and specialized training in neurodiversity, I am equipped to work with a diverse range of individuals.

My expertise includes:

  • ADHD, ASD, and Learning/Processing differences: Accounting for differences in developmental paths and communication styles.
  • Traumatic, Generational, and Minority Stress: Helping you manage and work through trauma and adversities, including addressing microaggressions and discrimination/bias.
  • Disabilities: Assisting with the complexities of disclosing sensitive information about your disability status, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
  • Life Navigation: Whether it is career-related or day-to-day challenges, I’m here to help you navigate life more effectively.
  • Sensory Integration and Expressive Therapy: Creative and experiential techniques to facilitate growth. From writing to art to sensory and movement-based methods, we’ll find what resonates with you and helps you heal.
  • Relaxation: Incorporate humor, breathing, grounding, and fun as therapeutic tools.
  • Psychoeducation: Informative support to understand yourself and your experiences better.

I look forward to working with you in a way that honors your individuality, maintains confidentiality, and empowers you to handle life’s challenges with confidence and skill.
