Linda Murphy, MEd, MA
Licensed Mental Health Counselor

The Relationship and Divorce Counseling Center’s founder Linda Murphy is passionate about relationship and divorce counseling. She invites clients to envision a brighter future even when circumstances appear bleak and contentious. Linda has herself experienced the heartbreak of divorce and the challenges of being a single mother. She knows how it feels to be overwhelmed and scared. Linda founded the RAD Counseling Center to help others through difficult relationship transitions by providing guidance and a roadmap for the journey.

In addition to offering counseling services, Linda also created an online course called “Banana Man: An Empowering Approach to Dealing with Difficult People Who Are Unwilling (or Unable) to Change.” She is currently turning the lessons from this course into a book.
