See what our patients are saying about Linda Sykes

My grief counselor Linda Sykes has helped me in ways I can not possibly describe in words. Linda saved me from myself. She allowed me to understand and learn what grief truly is. How it affects everything single aspect of your life. Linda taught me to use tools I never knew I could use to help through my losses. Never once did Linda make me or anything I felt seem insignificant. Her high end tactics and loving care treatment validated me in ways I thought died with my family. Thank you Lifestance and most of all thank you Linda for be there for me. Best support ever!! I could not have done it without you!!!

Today was my first appointment with Linda and she really impressed me. She appreciated the notes I had written myself to discuss with her and she took notes too which I liked. She was genuine and reassuring. I am looking forward to my next session and am hopeful that Linda can help me.
