Linda

Ms Linda Kriesel

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors

“Greetings, I am a psychotherapist in private practice. I have had the privilege of being along side of my patients for over 45 years. My belief is that I might have some of the right questions to help you find your answers. I look forward to coming to know you!”

About Me

With over 45 years in private practice, I offer a warm, consistent space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe asking the right questions can help you discover your own unique answers. If you are ready for self-discovery, I look forward to walking alongside you and truly understanding your perspective.

Approach

When we meet, you'll find a steady, attentive room—whether in my Phoenix office or online—that invites careful listening and gentle curiosity. Sessions move at your pace: we notice patterns, explore dreams and moments of shame or grief, and practice brief mindfulness or practical questions you can try between visits. I ask thoughtful, focused questions and offer reflections that help you name choices during life transitions, career shifts, or relationship turbulence. People seeking compassionate clarity and practical next steps often find this approach helpful.
