My passion is working with people and helping them to be the best they can be. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 24+ years of therapeutic experience. My experience started in Mental Health Clinics, but I have been working in private practice for over 15 years. I help people with a variety of concerns to include stress, anxiety, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
I’m Linda Orji, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over Eleven years of experience in health care. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for individuals with both medical and psychiatric conditions, which deepened my understanding of the powerful connection between the mind, body, and overall well-being.
I bring over 15 years of experience working with children, families, and schools to help people understand their emotions, strengthen relationships, and build the tools they need to thrive. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that we all do the best we can with the tools we have—and that with the right support, we can grow and heal.
Welcome—I'm glad you're here. I offer fully remote therapy with a focus on women’s mental health, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions such as marriage, divorce, relocation, career changes, retirement, and starting college.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in New York
Searching for postpartum therapists in New York starts with finding someone whose training fits your needs during pregnancy or after birth. Postpartum support can include care for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. New York has a wide range of therapists across urban and rural areas, so specialties and appointment options can vary by location. As you compare therapists, look for experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy therapy, prenatal therapy, or maternal mental health therapy. A PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal care.
From New York City to Buffalo to Albany, the right fit often depends on more than specialty alone. New parents may need appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, work schedules, or changing daily routines. Virtual therapy can make it easier to access a therapist for moms, a therapist for new moms, or new parent therapy when traveling to an office takes extra planning. You can also narrow your search by availability, therapeutic approach, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their style, experience, and approach before you book.
The cost of postpartum therapy in New York can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking.
