Contact Dr. Lin

Please note:  I current have no openings right now, but please do check back later, or feel free to give me a call for updates.  I usually have an opening every 2-3 months.

I’m happy to offer a free initial, 20-minute telephone or online video consultation to further determine if we are an appropriate fit for each other. Typical individual counseling sessions are 50 minutes in duration.  (I only have private practice hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the day.) 

Office Location

Please note my general policy for cancellations or no-shows:  Please remember to cancel or reschedule 24 hours in advance. You will be responsible for the ENTIRE fee if cancellation is less than 24 hours, unless in unusual circumstances.  Exceptions will be discussed individually.   This is necessary because a time commitment is made to you and is held exclusively for you.  If you are late for a session, you will lose that respective session time.
