I've been working in Toronto providing therapy since 1984. I spent the early years of my practice working in various settings around the city. In the past many years I have been focussed on my private practice. People come to see me to work on relationships with others but also with themselves. The work we do is focussed on feelings, thoughts, background, and present-day experiences.
Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Linda Chapman
I am a psychotherapist with more than 24 years of experience in providing therapy to adult clients struggling with: anxiety; problems with personal relationships and work concerns; grappling with the impact of childhood trauma; eating disorders and other eating problems; weight and shape preoccupations; physical illness and change; stress; depression; bereavement; and parenting and family concerns.
When I am working with you I am most concerned to know what is and has happened for you and how it's affecting you. I'll listen, ask questions, make observations, and talk about feelings and ideas that I hope will be helpful to you and to our work together.
In the mid-80’s I started out in hospital and community mental health and grassroots agencies where I offered both individual as well as group therapy - primarily art therapy but some “talk” psychotherapy too. The experience of working in larger settings and private practice has connected me to people from many backgrounds with diverse kinds of problems. My work experience is a true reflection of my deep and genuine interest in people, and what makes each of us “tick”.
EducationMy master's degree (M.C.A.T.) is from Hahnemann University, in Philadelphia, PA, where I graduated in 1984. I am also a graduate of the Institute for the Advancement of Self Psychology’s two-year psychoanalytic psychotherapy program. I continue my education via reading, peer consultation, and attending workshops and conferences.
