Dr. Linda Evans is an established psychologist with a PhD and has been a mental health practitioner since 1992. With a practice primarily focused on assisting adults and elders, she specializes in tackling issues such as depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship concerns, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and navigating life crises and transitions. Her vast experience spans outpatient, inpatient, and forensic mental health settings, including her role as the Director of Outpatient Mental Health in a maximum-security female prison. Currently, Dr. Evans runs a private practice and possesses extensive expertise in psychological assessment and consultation. She understands that many emotional disturbances stem from various forms of loss, which can occur in multiple contexts—ranging from death and relationship changes to job losses and shifts in health. Each stage of human development brings a unique set of losses and the accompanying grief process, yet these transitions also serve as opportunities for growth and wisdom, allowing individuals to help others along their journey to healing and change.
