Linda's Bio
Linda Karcher moved from Michigan to North Carolina in 2002 after realizing that sunshine and warmer climes were essential to her quality of life. Major snowfall and sub zero temperatures are no longer forecasted for her. She lives with her partner, Dave, and the newest addition to their family, Lotus, a King Charles Cavalier who already enjoys her animal assisted intervention duties! Her primary focus is working with adults dealing with life transitions, stress and anxiety. She believes she has a unique perspective and trifecta with her clinical, clinical educator and Yoga hats.
​
Linda has over 35 years of experience working with adolescents and adults across a variety of settings. She is certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy {C-DBT} in addition to utilizing other treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy {CBT}, Energy Psychology, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness. She has a strength based and collaborative approach with her clients.
​
​As a Certified Yoga Teacher, she also uses these skills to help people:
-
Relax, breathe and be mindful
-
Empower themselves
-
Learn emotional regulation
-
Increase mental, physical and emotional well-being
-
Develop confidence and increase motivation for success
​
In Linda's spare time she enjoys the great outdoors hiking, biking and anything by the water. She also enjoys cooking, reading, travel and scuba diving and of course, playing with her dog, aka her lovable office assistant.
