People Incorporated offers school-linked therapy within the Robbinsdale School District 281, Osseo Area School District 279, Intermediate School District 287, and Anoka Hennepin District 11. Therapists are licensed mental health practitioners whose offices are located within the school so they are able to serve youth in a familiar setting, offering minimal disruption to their school day. Telemedicine services are available via video on Google Meets. Therapists provide therapy services for students who are dealing with stress, a big change, anxiety, depression, trauma, etc. Sometimes students just need some help with one issue, and sometimes there will be more complex issues they are dealing with. The length of services can vary from 1 month to multiple years, depending on their needs. Students do not need to be in crisis to receive services. We would like to provide support before students get to that point. 

Referrals for the program can come through parents/ guardians, principals, teachers, school social workers or other school staff.  Services are provided in a confidential manner with engaged family involvement. People Incorporated accepts most insurance plans and offers a sliding fee for individuals who do not have insurance.

She holds her Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) credential and is currently a Clinical Trainee, working toward becoming a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW).

In her role, Linda provides support to students who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral difficulties, developmental transitions, and autism. She works closely with students and their families, offering guidance, psychoeducation, and support. Linda’s therapeutic approach is flexible and holistic, drawing from various methods like person-centered therapy, mindfulness, relational therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing to best meet each student's unique needs.

As a child of immigrants with a bi-cultural background, Linda brings a unique perspective to both her personal and professional life. She is deeply passionate about mental health, believing that it's essential to overall well-being, and that everyone deserves access to mental health care. Linda is especially committed to helping bridge the gap for students in need, particularly those from marginalized communities.

Her clinical interests include anxiety, racial/cultural identity, trauma/PTSD, immigration, co-occurring disorders, life-stage transitions, neurodivergence (including ADHD, Autism, and OCD), and sexuality/gender identity. Linda is particularly focused on supporting the BIPOC community and advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion in mental health care.
