Comedian/Actor/Writer

I had the opportunity to work with Linda in Hollywood almost twenty years ago and have continued a friendship with her since the day she showed me around the Warner Bros lot. Artists require a unique approach to help us maintain our mental health throughout the personal and professional lives we lead, and Linda provides that. Linda is effective because she knows the entertainment industry, and she understands and cares about people. You will find in her a dedicated and trusted ally who commits to making things better.

Kimberly Miller
President of Development, Film & TV

I’ve known Linda for nearly 20 years. Even when we were just young struggling assistants, I could always count on her for caring, thoughtful and grounded advice.  The fact that she had the experience of working up the ranks gives her a deep understanding of the work culture in the entertainment industry and allows her to genuinely relate to your situation/problem—a priceless asset . I also appreciate how Linda helps me see my situation outside of my own perspective. And it is always that new awareness/point of view that helps me find my path to healing and resolution.

Writer & Executive Producer (The Chosen)

As a screenwriter and producer, my work with Linda played a critical part of my career trajectory. Her combination of personal insight and extensive industry experience has led me to understand my work and my process in expansive new ways. At a critical time, Linda helped me to understand the most important part of being a writer, an artist, a plumber -- why was I doing it? Linda helped me crack the code of purpose, and everything I've written since has been shaped by the groundwork Linda and I set down.

Linda's unique combination of creativity, enthusiasm, and sharp industry acumen puts her in a class above. Over the years, at least a half dozen writers and producers have recommended her to me. I'm sick of telling everyone that I was the one who recommended her first.

Caron Tschampion
Writer (Sweet Magnolias)

I have been fortunate to have known Linda as a friend, a coworker, and a confidante for over twenty years. We met while working together as development assistants – a job that offered us both a lot of experience with the entertainment industry, as well as a lot of workplace drama. Throughout, Linda was always my go-to person when I needed to check my mental state of affairs.

I’ve moved on to a career as a writer, and Linda’s sage wisdom and advice is even more helpful to me now. She has an innate understanding of the pressures and pitfalls of being a “creative” in Hollywood and always helps me find my creative balance. Unintentionally or not, she also has a knack for sparking story ideas with a simple conversation. Her care, commitment, loyalty, and innate creativity make Linda an asset to the field of mental health.
