Fritz Linda, PHD

Several years ago, Dr. Linda Fritz provided marriage counseling to me and my X-​wife for about 8 months. Although the troubled 10-​year marriage ended a few years later, the positive results of her counseling were tremendous, especially in teaching how to model positive behaviors for the kids. My kids have blossomed with strong, stable relationships. During and after the divorce they’ve been near-​straight «A» students even while taking the most rigorous academic programs. They’ve also been very well adapted socially with many close friends and emotionally healthy relationships. My daughter and son are now both attending a strong regional university and they’re doing exceptionally well. I credit much of this to the sage advice that Dr. Linda provided my X and I during the marriage counseling and in a few one-​on-​one sessions she had with me after it became apparent that the relationship was irreconcilable. She taught me that my X and I are responsible for our own feelings, thoughts, and actions and that a healthy relationship is one in which both partners are actively supportive and encouraging of each other. Dr. Linda was exceptionally patient with my X even when my X exhibited deficits in anger management ability during our sessions. Dr. Linda was warm, compassionate, and an excellent listener and guide during our sessions and she always provided a wealth of insight and wisdom. Despite the failure of the marriage, my X notably improved during the years immediately following the counseling. The counseling helped her to overcome her agoraphobia, her fear of getting a job, and significantly improved her ability to manage her anger. Dr. Linda also helped her to become more thoughtful and reflective, skills that have tremendously benefited her in her job and with the kids.

I came to Linda in 1998 while going through a divorce. She helped me through a very difficult time. I am now happily married and have a lovely family. Linda has helped me get back on track with my life and I will be forever grateful. She is very intelligent and well read. She is a dear person and a great guide. She has helped not only me but several of my friends when they went through difficult periods in their lives. They all think she is amazing too!

Linda’s needs were important than my need for help. The hugs she gives most clients turned into more when Linda rubbed her cheek against mine and stroked my back. She held me and told me that I was beautiful on the inside as well as on the outside. We sat on the couch where she pressed her thigh into mine. She would call and arrange to meet me after work and would sometimes cancel at the last minute. She told me she wanted to live with me although she was living with someone else who did not know about me. I have since met other women who had similar experiences. Linda proved to be unprofessional, unethical, superficial, and the antithesis of caring. If you are paying her for her services, consider the behavior you are supporting. Note that she lost her Oregon license for this behavior. Look it up at
