Meet Linda Hudson
During my 30-year career, I have earned a reputation as one of the nation’s foremost authorities in the filed of sex and love addiction. I have assisted hundreds of clients in improving their self-esteem, relationships and sex lives through one-on-one counseling, workshops and group sessions.
For over 32 years I have benn in recovery from sexual addiction. Because of my personal experience with sex addiction, I bring compassion, empathy and an added understanding of the complexities of addiction. From mismatched sex drives to damaged relationships to intimacy after divorce or illness, I support individuals and couples as they regain a renewed sense of hope, pleasure and passion in their lives.
“
Therapy takes courage. We all have fears; admitting them, confronting them and allowing them to be part of the awareness, but not keep you from looking at them, takes bravery.

I work holistically with clients to to help them heal on an emotional, physical, and spiritual level.
