Dr. Linda Wickens

Dr. Linda Wickens

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


Hi, I’m Dr. Linda Wickens, a doctoral-level therapist and coach who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck while preventing forward movement and growth. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or frustrated that change feels harder than it should.

Therapy and coaching with me are never one-size-fits-all. We work collaboratively to create a plan that is specific to you, your goals, and your capacity, adjusting pace and structure as your needs evolve. I focus on helping clients understand their patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical skills they can actually use in daily life.

I hold a Doctorate in Social Work and am a fully licensed clinical social worker, with over nine years of experience in the mental health field. My work integrates evidence-based therapy with a coaching-informed lens when appropriate, allowing sessions to be both supportive and goal-oriented while still making space to explore the past and its impact on the present.

Clients often describe my style as warm, direct, and collaborative. As part of my concierge model, clients work directly with me rather than an assistant, and I remain accessible to my clients outside of sessions through secure communication when needed. I believe growth happens through understanding, compassion, and honest conversation, and that progress is most sustainable when care feels personal, intentional, and consistent.

Please Note: I do not provide couples or marriage counseling. Additionally, I am not able to treat clients who are experiencing active suicidal ideation or self-harm behaviors. If these services are needed, I encourage seeking a provider who specializes in these areas or contacting appropriate crisis resources if immediate support is required.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Scottsdale, AZ

Finding postpartum therapists in Scottsdale starts with looking for care that matches your needs after pregnancy and birth. Postpartum support can address depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also list specialized perinatal training, such as the perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C), in their profiles. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach fit what you want to focus on.

Scottsdale has a range of mental health care options, and the right fit often depends on both specialty and logistics. New parents may need appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, work schedules, or changing routines. Virtual sessions can make postpartum care more accessible, especially when travel to an office adds extra planning. Before booking, read therapist bios to understand how each person describes their style, experience with postpartum concerns, and session structure.

Therapy in Scottsdale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to compare postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review their profiles, verify your insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book. From there, you can choose a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and offers appointments that fit your schedule.
