Reduced-Fee Therapy Services

Linda Arbiter, MA
Registered Marriage and Family Therapy Intern #IMF49649
Certified in the Treatment of Addictions and Domestic Violence

Is loss, substance abuse, trauma or divorce getting you down or preventing you from moving forward in your life’s journey? I can help you find a path through the pain and find hope. I am trained to use combination of techniques based on principles of psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, guided imagery, relaxation techniques and the 12-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.

Early childhood experiences often manifest as depression, anxiety, panic, anger or difficulty with relationships in our adult lives. Together, in a safe and supportive environment, we will explore how your early childhood experiences effect your current relationships and prevent you from experiencing the joy of life.

I specialize in the treatment of substance abuse, dual diagnosis, grief and loss, divorce, trauma, sexual abuse, victims of crime, parenting issues and coping strategies for children and adolescents with depression and low self esteem, emotional disturbances or educational/medical disabilities.

I would be happy to meet with you and answer any questions you may have regarding the therapeutic process. I can provide reduced-fee therapy for children, individuals, couples and families. I hope we can begin a journey leading to hope, wholeness and fulfillment.
