About me
Hello and Welcome to Regain! This is where you can find your new future and the help you seek for the life you are wanting to live!
I would be honored to assist you along that ride.
My name is Linda Crawford. I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Florida. Just like you, I am human and that means I understand life has a variety of challenges to throw at us. At times, it can seem near impossible to get past some of these obstacles. Often we can feel alone and helpless, about what our best next step could be. But, here is the secret reality......needing assistance in these matters is just part of the human process. Unfortunately, there are many people who are afraid to admit they are human enough to desire/need the assistance of another person's perspective. Anyway, here you, and your partner are both reading my profile and that is actually a good sign!
Working to improve our individual lives can be challenging enough. When we add to that, the desire to please another person while still maintaining our lives adds even more levels.
I believe communication to be at the core of relationship dynamics. Each partner has their own life experiences and personal views which have an important impact upon their perception of the relationship. In couples counseling, we need to take these factors into consideration while also working on improved communication, fair fighting techniques, assertiveness training, management of expectations, empathy and understanding of the other person's experience in the relationship.
I am excited about working with you both as a couple to dig through your struggles and help you excel to work on changing your brains so that you can feel better about your future relationship. It is true, you brain does change according to your thought process! I truly want to help you and your partner to excel at this! However, I cannot do this alone and that means you may be given assignments to complete. That is how you will both learn to change your brains and your relationship!
Together, we can adjust your negative thoughts and feelings which, in my experience working with couples and with individual clients, seems to be at the core of many issues, which further impact the couples' relationship issues, such as: anxiety, depression, overeating, disorganization, lost motivation, lost interest, hurt feelings, anger, loneliness, mistrust, boredom.
Here is the plan I offer to you: You are the drivers of your lives, you both have free will to choose which roads to take. I will sit in the back seat and be a sort of ...GPS...suggesting options along the way. Ultimately, you are the ones in the front seats determining what the ride will feel like. That means, you will both determine the distance you travel, the bumps along the road you need to drive over or around and the speed at which you move. Also, and most important...you determine when you have arrived at your destination!
Ready when you are!

My husband and I have been pleased with Linda’s counseling and guidance. She helps us to identify our issues and then offers many suggestions for ways to resolve them. She has been extremely helpful!

Linda was a pleasure to work with! She was very attentive, and provided great solutions for my wife and I!
I feel that it is never easy to recognize that you may be doing something wrong in your life! From day one Linda has been super comfortable to work with and has opened our eyes and minds to working on our relationship!!
Linda has helped me and my girlfriend communicate our love and respect for each other in ways we had not thought of before. Also gave us a method of working through problems.
Although we only had a few sessions with Linda, she truly helped make a huge impact in helping my boyfriend and I overcome a huge hurdle. She acted as an unbiased third party and made it easier to open up our perspectives. She also provided tools we have incorporated into our communication style.
Awesome
Linda is a great listener and is gifted I finding the root of an issue or thought pattern and provides helpful tools for dealing with those things. She has helped me gain so much insight into myself. I highly recommend her expertise
Linda is an amazing marriage counselor! She is patient and really understand her clients and how to work with them.
Linda has been beyond amazing to me for a year and a half now. She's nurturing, honest and gentle with her knowledge and truth. I love her and she's been my medicine/safe haven
I really love working with Linda. Prior to my time with her, I’ve had 2 psychiatrists, one counselor, and two therapists. But I’m finally able to tackle what I’ve been struggle with all my life and I’ve seen massive improvement in just the first month or two with her and it honestly has brought so much relief and ease and contentment into my life
Since working with Linda the communication between me abd my spouse has improved dramatically. The exercises she implemented has helped grow. Thank you Linda
Linda has in short saved our marriage. She has helped us resolve trauma, learn to communicate, and truly understand what we need to do to have a healthy relationship. She never places blame on anyone party. We would not be where we are without her!
Linda is great !
Linda has been great at helping my husband and me work through many of life’s challenges.
Linda has been fantastic. Her Assistance has been invaluable
Linda makes us feel comfortable, heard and understood. Really impressed with therapy so far!
We've had our first video session with Linda and she has been very helpful. Listens to both of our concerns and gives appropriate feedback about it. Hoping that this will benefit us for years to come.
Linda is awesome! She really listens to us and takes the time to figure out what we need from the sessions. She never makes us feel like she is taking one person's side over the other. She helps get to the root of the problem.
She has been a tremendous help for my marriage. She’s a great listener and gets to the root of the issues.
Linda was such an incredible counselor to my husband and I. We went to marriage counseling not knowing how to communicate with each other and with a lot of hurt feelings. After two months of counseling with Linda, we have never been happier!
Linda has proven to be very valuable to my husband and I during our marriage counseling. She makes us both feel comfortable. She doesn’t ever make us feel as though she’s taking sides, instead at the end of each session we feel as though she’s part of our team helping us along the way.
