Linda Strauss

Registered Psychologist

Healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and supported—and that’s what I strive to offer every person who walks through my door.

I’m a registered psychologist with over 20 years of experience supporting people as they navigate life’s most challenging seasons. Your sessions will be grounded in evidence-based trauma therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Interactive Drawing Therapy (IDT), and offered in a warm, caring, and collaborative environment. In my private practice, I work with privately funded clients and will also be offering ACC Sensitive Claims and EAP services.  

I see therapy as a partnership—one built on trust, compassion, and genuine care. I’m committed to culturally safe and responsive practice, honouring each person’s background, identity, and whānau.

After relocating from windy Wellington to Tauranga, I love spending time at the beach and value the sense of calm and connection that comes with being near the ocean. I deeply believe that no matter how heavy things may feel, healing is possible, and that with the right support, people can rediscover peace, confidence, and connection.  

If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
