Testimonials

  • It would be difficult to overstate the positive impact that working with Lina had on my life, because working with Lina quite literally saved my life. She possesses an incredible kindness, outstripped only by her wisdom, and a keen ability to get to the root of an issue. Lina helped me uncover what was really going on in my head and in my heart in a way that I never could have done alone. She coached me as I learned new mental health skills and didn’t settle when she knew I wasn’t doing what I was capable of. With her ability to listen and understand, and then to teach, coach, and hold accountable, Lina is everything a therapist should be, and I’m so grateful she was mine.

  • A bit less than 3 years ago, I had the wonderful fortune of connecting with Lina Barosso. I was at an extremely low point in my life after realizing I didn’t know who I was or what I thought anymore. Lina’s gift to me was her ability to identify the source of my struggle with empathy and understanding in a completely safe environment. With her guidance and support I was able to see how co-dependency and the lack of internal and external boundaries were the culprits that drained me mentally, emotionally, and physically. Lina’s expertise has provided me with insight and has helped me reach a level of personal growth which has allowed me to know who I am and to trust my inner voice. Lina’s unwaveringly patient, supportive, nonjudgmental long-term commitment of walking with me along my journey of healing and self-discovery has positively influenced not only myself: I am passing on newfound understanding to my children. In her commitment to staying “in it” with me, she provided a different perspective to my unhealthy thought processes and gave me the tools to bring me to a healthier place.

    What can I say?… my time with Lina has been invaluable and literally life changing. She has been a blessing and I thank God for her guidance and how she always validated where I was at emotionally in any given session.
