  • Linda is an amazing therapist and teacher. She is very compassionate, knowledgeable, and experienced. She takes a very comprehensive approach to assessment and treatment. She integrates different modalities tailored to the person's clinical needs. I can't recommend her highly enough.

    Carol J. Weiss, M.D.

  • Linda Kocieniewski has provided excellent supervision skills to my staff at Weill Cornell Medicine for several years now, helping to improve the EMDR skills of many EMDR therapists. She personally supervised me, allowing me to become EMDRIA certified. She is a very kind and thoughtful clinician, and is a longtime expert in EMDR, having trained with Francine Shapiro herself, and then with Laurel Parnell. I highly recommend her.

  • Linda Kocieniewski was my EMDR practice group supervisor. She is an EMDR expert, an outstanding therapist, a superb teacher, and a very kind and compassionate human being. I have referred my own patients to her, so of course I highly recommend her.

    Jonathan Polan, M.D.

  • As a fellow mental health practitioner, I can’t speak highly enough of Linda Kocieniewski. She is an expert in the field of trauma-focused therapy and EMDR, and creates a safe, compassionate, and healing environment for her clients. I’ve personally witnessed the transformative impact her work has had on children, adolescents and adults struggling with trauma and emotional challenges.

    Jennifer Hope, Ph.D.

  • I am in a supervision group led by Linda. I depend on her deep wisdom and insights. She is kind and funny as well!

I am an experienced, skilled, caring therapist who can help you to heal, and to create the life you've always dreamed of.

I have been helping people to overcome difficulties from their pasts and create brighter futures for many years. I love to support others on their journeys of healing from their pasts, reaching their fullest potential, and creating their own perfect lives.

My style is warm, caring, and supportive as I help you stretch to achieve your best! I specialize in helping people to overcome the effects of trauma, including childhood trauma, such as abuse and neglect or growing up in a family with problems such as substance abuse, violence, and other problems. These issues can affect a person's self-esteem and ability to form healthy relationships, and can stand in the way of forming a positive and happy life.

I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant and have helped many people heal through EMDR treatment (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), among other treatments. I offer regular weekly EMDR sessions and also EMDR Intensives; half day, full day, or multi-day EMDR sessions for more rapid healing.

EMDR is particularly helpful in overcoming the effects of trauma, both recent trauma and childhood trauma or chronic trauma. I also help people to overcome performance anxieties, and to achieve peak performance in all areas of their lives. Peak performance work with EMDR has been very helpful in resolving issues such as fear of public speaking, creative blocks, stage fright, and confidence issues in performance in work and other roles. My office is in midtown Manhattan, convenient to most subways and buses.  EMDR therapy and EMDR Intensives are also available in Brooklyn.

My EMDR and Psychotherapy Services are now available remotely by computer for New York State residents throughout the state.
