As individuals, we are influenced by the various cultural, societal, and family systems in which we live. The Link practices and teaches psychotherapy from a multi-systems perspective. As Experiential Family Therapists we operate from a humanistic perspective, promoting both individual and family growth and development.
The importance of the Self of the therapist is also a cornerstone of The Link's philosophy. We encourage personal and professional growth in a supportive, creative and collaborative atmosphere.
As Psychotherapists...
We believe that individuals inherently desire to move towards health and authenticity. Our approach to psychotherapy and training embraces this belief and is reflected in our programs and services.
As Family Therapists...
We believe that psychotherapy with any subsystem impacts the family as a whole.

Derek Economy, LMFT, CPCS Approved Supervisor, AAMFT Approved Supervisor
Link Staff 1984 - present
Derek thinks of psychotherapy as a contemporary name for a very old process. In therapy, what is most true and real can be discovered, spoken, understood and lived. Pain can be healed. The fullness of life's possibilities can be rediscovered.
