Therapy with Linda Schlapfer
For 25 years, I’ve guided couples, individuals, and families through life’s most defining moments.
Rooted in Connecticut, I’ve now stretched my wings across Florida, New York, and beyond. My approach is practical, intuitive, and solution-driven — helping clients break patterns, shift perspectives, and rediscover possibility. In a space of trust and collaboration, real change begins..
Couples Therapy
Navigating Relationship Challenges
Relationships can face periods of crisis, worn down by insecurities, communication breakdowns, outside pressures, financial strain, parenting struggles, or intimacy issues. Negative emotions like fear, anger, jealousy, and sadness can turn daily life into a battleground.
I help couples move through these turbulent times, discover healthier ways to connect, and build stronger foundations for the future. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, focusing on understanding vulnerabilities, improving communication, rebuilding trust, and creating lasting, shared goals for a more fulfilling relationship.
Individual Therapy
Guiding You Toward Growth and Healing
When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, having the right support can make all the difference. For over 20 years, I have helped clients navigate real challenges using solution-focused strategies designed for lasting change.
Clients come to me for many reasons—dealing with daily stress, healing from childhood trauma, managing depression or anxiety, facing relationship struggles, parenting challenges, career transitions, or seeking personal growth.
In a warm and compassionate space, we’ll explore your feelings, beliefs, and experiences, working together to create meaningful goals and lasting change. Whether we meet for a handful of sessions or a longer journey, the path we shape will be entirely your own.
Sex Therapy
Reclaiming Your Sexual Connection
Sexuality is a vital part of our wellbeing, shaping how we connect, love, and experience life. When a couple’s sex life is strong, it supports their bond; when it falters, it can feel like the center of the relationship is unraveling.
Sexual challenges often stem from stress, mismatched desires, body image concerns, trauma, aging, or health issues. Together, we’ll explore these factors with compassion and clarity—working toward solutions or adaptations that help you reconnect with your sexuality and create the most fulfilling intimate life possible.
Your sexuality is your birthright—an essential source of pleasure, creativity, healing, and connection. It’s never too late to reclaim it.
Seperation & Divorce
Finding Your Way Through Divorce
The end of a marriage can bring relief—but it also brings grief, stress, and profound change. Whether you’re deciding whether to stay or leave, or navigating the emotional aftermath of divorce, the transition can be overwhelming, especially when children are involved.
In therapy, I help you make sense of what’s happening, work through painful emotions, and gently guide you toward healing and a new perspective. Through this process, many discover deeper self-understanding—what they truly need in a relationship, and what no longer serves them.
Even in the hardest times, there’s an opportunity for reflection, growth, and a stronger future.
Infidelity
Healing After Infidelity
Infidelity can shatter the foundation of a marriage, bringing overwhelming pain, disbelief, and confusion. It leaves you questioning everything—your relationship, your partner, and yourself.
Yet betrayal doesn’t have to mean the end. Through counseling, we can begin to make sense of what happened, explore the path to forgiveness, rebuild trust, and work through the deep pain and shame. Healing is possible—and with the right guidance, so is a renewed sense of hope.
Blended Families & Step Parenting
Strengthening Stepfamilies
Blending a family takes time—often five to ten years—and comes with complex challenges. Children can’t become siblings overnight, and balancing love, loyalty, guilt, and fear can strain even the strongest bonds.
As a wife, mother, and stepmother, I understand these unique struggles. I help couples and blended families navigate attachments, manage feelings of exclusion, and find balance between the needs of a spouse and the needs of children.
Together, we’ll create rituals, set healthy boundaries, and build the foundation for a family you can be proud of—one rooted in trust, connection, and lasting love.
