Meet Your Therapists…

You’ve probably already read our bios on the Therapists tab but you may still be wondering who we are, not just as therapists but as real people.  So here’s a fun way to get to know the therapists sitting across the couch from you.

Linda Robins

Linda, How do you spend your free time?

“I love the beach, spending time with my family, and walking my (large!) rescue dog Bingo.  I also love baking and I am famous for my “Everything but the Kitchen Sink Cookies! Yum!”

What do you like most about being a therapist:

“I enjoy helping people and I love being a part of someone’s “ah-ha” moments.  The most satisfying part of therapy is to watch someone start taking the steps to feel better!

What would you want someone who has never been in therapy to know about starting with you?

“Uncertainty can be hard, but you’re taking that first step.  Good for you!  You’re doing it!

Every therapist talks about the importance of coping skills for the people they work with, but what are your favorite coping skills for yourself?

“My two favorite coping skills are walks in nature and dance parties with my daughter!”

Lindsay MacGeorge

Lindsay, How do you spend your free time?

“I love spending time at a favorite lake in upstate New York.  I also enjoy hiking, camping, spending time with my family and reading.  A little known fact about me- I’ve been playing soccer my whole life and I still play as an adult.

What do you like most about being a therapist:

“There is a contagious energy that comes when two people are working together for positive change.  I enjoy being part of those moments and seeing someone’s face light up when they make a connection or learn something about themselves.

What would you want someone who has never been in therapy to know about starting with you?

“There is always some fear in doing something new, but it’s within that fear that some of the most significant change happens.  Lean into that fear, it’s a sign that you’re taking steps so that things can get better.”

Every therapist talks about the importance of coping skills for the people they work with, but what are your favorite coping skills for yourself?

“My favorite coping skills for myself are a combination of running, yoga, cooking, mindfulness, creative projects, playing with my kids and playing soccer.  I use some regularly and preventatively, while others I use in the moment when they’re needed.

*Hopefully you’ve enjoyed getting to know us, as we are looking forward to getting to know you!
