Meet Saoirse Linder
Hi! I’m Saoirse!
AMFT | Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
PRONOUNS | SHE / HER
I have always been a deeply curious person - drawn to people, their stories, their patterns, and the emotions that they carry but don’t always speak aloud. Growing up between Ireland and London, as well as doing human rights and conflict resolution work in countries like Rwanda, deepened my curiosity around psychology, culture, and what helps people feel truly seen. It is an honor to support clients on their journey of self-discovery so that they can live their most vibrant, purposeful, and fulfilling lives.
Who I Support
I specialize in supporting adults navigating late diagnosis ADHD, Perinatal mental health and matrescence - the identity shift that occurs when we become a mother (and I am a mother myself), Attachment-focused therapy for anxious attachment style support in dating and relationships, adults healing from the impact of emotionally immature parenting when they were young (inner child work), and couples desiring improved communication and connection.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or frustrated with yourself for not being able to break out of patterns that don’t serve you - let’s connect. Therapy can be a space to unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface so you can stop beating yourself up and start moving forward with more clarity, purpose, and self-compassion. These aren’t just surface habits; they’re often rooted in deeper emotional experiences we can explore together. My goal is to help you make sense of those patterns, build self-trust, and create more connected relationships with others and with yourself.
How I Support
“Honest, grounded, and human” are three words that describe my style as a therapist. My approach is rooted in psychodynamic therapy, with a focus on how early relationships and attachments shape our emotional lives and current behavior. I also draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and somatic practices, especially when working with couples and trauma. I am trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and will bring this modality into our work together to help you uncover and shift away subconscious patterns that are keeping you stuck. In our work together, you can expect a warm, collaborative space where you feel safe enough to explore even the parts of yourself you usually keep hidden. I believe healing begins when we feel truly seen, and I aim to foster that level of trust in every session.
