Linda Long

Professional Nurse

“With 17 years of healthcare experience, I'm passionate about fostering vibrant health and well-being, especially for women. My treatment philosophy is holistic – I aim to address both your physical and mental health needs. I'm here to support your journey towards a healthier life with care and effectivity.”

About Me

My passion lies in helping women cultivate vibrant health, understanding that well-being is deeply connected. With 17 years in healthcare, I integrate physical and mental health support, recognising their profound interplay. We can explore how your thoughts, feelings, and physical experiences influence each other. This holistic approach helps you find effective, lasting ways forward. I aim to create a supportive space where all aspects of your health are considered.

Approach

You’ll find sessions that move between practical health planning and reflective exploration, linking body signs, mood patterns, and daily routines to create clearer choices. From my Los Angeles office and via telehealth, I work in English and Portuguese, pacing each meeting to your tempo and often setting small between-session steps to notice change. Using focused assessment and gentle coaching, we translate symptoms into manageable strategies that respect medical realities while tending to feelings. This way of working tends to help adolescents and adults facing anxiety, chronic illness, mood challenges, or burnout.
