Linda M. Story Ph.D., LPC, LMFT
It is my belief that all people hold the key to healthier functioning within themselves. Beliefs about our self and our environment have a direct effect on the way we feel and behave. Faulty beliefs about our surrounding environment can cause stress in our life. I am dedicated to helping families & individuals recognize faulty beliefs and identify better ways of coping, relating & living in their environment.
