It is our desire that we become a place where each and every person who enters our office, no matter how big or small their problems are, will feel cared for, safe, and important. Picking up the phone to call a counselor can be scary. There are so many questions that can go through your mind. Will they judge me? Will I have to lie down on a couch?
Will I have to share my private, deepest thoughts with a stranger? What if it gets weird? We get it! It's a hard step. At Abiding Hope, we have gone to great lengths to make counseling one of the most enriching experiences of your life and to take the "weird" out of therapy! We strive to make you comfortable and to feel safe. Everything we do is with you in mind.

The way we see it around here, counseling from a Christian world view is a process in which the counselor and the client walk together towards the full, free, and meaningful life that God offers through the person of Jesus Christ.

She is patient and understanding and was able to identify and help us begin to address the issues in our marriage.
She knew when it was necessary to push me out of my own comfort zone and focus on self improvement and prioritizing my relationship with my spouse.
She is the type of person that really cares about her clients' well-being, and of the people I have met online, Linda is definitely one of the most genuine.
I look forward to every session we have.
