About me

--- I have experience working with community based mental health agencies, managed care, and private practice. My passion is working with children and families. I believe that the family is an important institution to society, that needs to be preserved. I am sensitive to the clients perspective and I never prescribe or make recommendations that are in direct violation of the client culture, values or beliefs. My specialty areas include: trauma, child abuse, parenting issues , family therapy, coping with loss, play therapy, stress management and life transitions. I approach therapy from a client centered approach, focusing on validating the clients feelings displaying empathy, with a strong emphasis on the client being the expert.

I appreciate Lincoya allowing me the space to spend almost my entire first session venting but actively engaging with me! she listened sincerely. Didn't interrupt me but when there was a pause in my hysterics her engagement with me was comforting she did it with such Grace and concern I appreciate it I needed that. I think it's going to be a good fit. Thank you Miss Young.

My first session with Lincoya was productive and gave me an actionable plan along with some thoughtful reflection. I appreciate her ability to summarize key points and will continue our sessions.
