Welcome, and thank you for being here. I’m Dr. Ladera Linn, the founder of Opal Psychological.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California specializing in behavioral medicine. I was trained in Health Psychology, which focuses on how biological, psychological, and social factors influence health and illness. I explore the connection between mental and physical well-being, helping individuals manage stress, cope with chronic conditions, and adopt healthier lifestyles.

I often collaborate with medical professionals to promote holistic care, improve treatment outcomes, and enhance quality of life.

I use a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach, integrating CBT, ACT, DBT, mindfulness, and other evidence-based interventions to empower patients to achieve their health and wellness goals.
