Counseling and Integrative Psychotherapy in Rhinebeck

Linda Gutterman provides counseling and psychotherapy for individuals and couples.

She works from a varied theoretical background, thus the term "integrated psychotherapy" to describe her practice.

In order to facilitate your growth, different approaches will be employed dependent upon your needs at that time. Several examples of these are the psychodynamic/insight oriented focus, problem solving, behavioral approach, and stress management.

It is also important to acknowledge what the physical body tells us about the emotional state and its role in allowing us to work on varied and deeper levels. At times, Linda may focus on non-verbal “exercises” that elicit subtle change.

In light of the evidence that shows that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most important factors impacting the effectiveness of therapy, the first goal is to establish a safe, supportive atmosphere in which you feel comfortable. Linda provides a non-judgmental, respectful environment for clients to explore concerns and express their thoughts and feelings.
