Linda Hobbs, MSS, MBA, LCSW-C, E-RYT The Mind-Body Connector™ Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy | Level III AEDP | Yoga & Meditation Instructor You deserve more than just coping. You deserve to feel alive — in your body, in your relationships, and in your everyday life. I help high-functioning professionals, military spouses, and couples in crisis reconnect and heal — body and heart. Many of my clients come to me unsure how to name what they’re missing — they just know they’re tired of trying so hard, feeling so much, and carrying it alone. Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, or relationship strain, I offer something deeper than coping strategies. Together, we slow down, listen to your body, and make space for meaningful change — the kind that touches every part of you. What I Bring to the Work 🌀 A mind-body method rooted in science, presence, and compassion 💞 Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, families & individuals 🧠 Level III Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) 🧘🏾‍♀️ Nationally Certified Yoga & Meditation Teacher (E-RYT, YACEP) 🌬️ Breathwork and somatic tools to regulate your nervous system 🍎 Holistic support that includes nutrition, rest, and real-life rhythms Clients have lovingly called me “Dr. Love” — not because I promise perfect relationships, but because I help you show up for love in all its realness. With over 25 years in the healthcare and wellness industry, I’ve walked with hundreds through seasons of healing, growth, intimacy repair, and nervous system renewal. Why Annapolis After decades supporting others through trauma, intimacy repair, and nervous system renewal, I chose to root my practice near the Chesapeake Bay — a place where water, stillness, and movement meet. It’s a soul-aligned setting that mirrors the rhythms I bring into my work: calming, present, and deeply attuned. Who I Work With I help: • Solo-hearted seekers ready for real love and self-trust • Couples in crisis who want to stop surviving and start breathing again • Healers, caregivers, and professionals who give deeply but struggle to receive • Spiritual, sensitive, and growth-minded humans ready to reconnect with life This work is for you if… ❥ You’re yearning for love but fear you're too much — or not enough ❥ You and your partner are stuck in old cycles and don’t know how to reconnect ❥ You’ve lost your sensuality or your sense of self ❥ You want to heal not just mentally, but physically and emotionally ❥ You’re ready to feel at home in your body — and in your relationships My Promise I won’t offer formulas or quick fixes. I will offer presence, deep listening, and a safe place to land. Together, we’ll work with your breath, your body, your nervous system, and your relationships — to rediscover what your heart has always known. “Ooh, who would've thought I'd get you?” — Daniel Caesar, “Get You” You — whole, seen, and loved. That’s the you I want to help you remember… or finally meet. ⭐ Credentials, Training & Recognition Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) Licensed in Maryland, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Practitioner Couples, Families, Individuals — Certified by ICEEFT Level III AEDP Practitioner Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy E-RYT 200+ Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher, Yoga Alliance Certified Meditation Instructor With an active personal and professional practice Master of Social Work – University of Maryland Military & Family Life Counselor, Camp Lejeune Rated “Outstanding” by Magellan; selected as 1 of 6 “Relationship SuperStars” out of around 700 counselors Voted “Best Marriage Counselor in Durham, NC – 2024” 25+ years in the health and wellness field, integrating psychotherapy, nutrition, yoga, and somatic care Affectionately known by clients as “Dr. Love” for the presence and depth I bring to healing Based in Annapolis, Maryland — drawn to the water for its peace, rhythm, and natural healing
