Family Member Quote
“I had been having a very hard time since my son’s death and finding Linnie was a godsend. She uses the Columbia University Center for Complicated Grief’s method for short-term counseling. She is compassionate, smart, always caring, and has made me feel 100% safe. Each time I see her, she has given much thought to our previous session and has an amazing ability to be completely present.”
