Hi!  I am Linda Tillmon, founder of Tillmon Behavioral Health Services LLC!  

​

I was born and raised in The Bronx of New York City, started my secondary education at  St. John's University in Queens where I received my Bachelor's Degree of Science in Human Services.  I continued my education at Virginia Commonwealth University, and completed my Master's of Social Work from Fordham University, Lincoln Center Campus.   Before starting this practice in 2021, I worked in different settings such as emergency rooms, nursing homes, outpatient mental health centers, & ran day to day operations of community mental health centers and federal qualified health centers. 

​

I have been working in this field for 27 years.  As I have been told, I am approachable & welcoming.  I worked with individuals of ages 5 & up, including families, groups and couples.  I utilize clinical interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Problem Solving Treatment, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Meaning-Centered Grief Therapy, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method for couples, & Play Therapy with children. 

 

Currently, I am a part time Clinical Director for a non profit organization, Rye Youth Council, where we have an outpatient counseling program that provides short term therapy up to 6 months for the youth of ages 5-22.   I created this counseling program as there was a need for services in the community with hopes to normalize conversations about mental health & reduce the stigma.     I am also the President for the Black Girl Social Club Bronx/Westchester Chapter.

 

As I speak highly about self care, I love watching movies in my spare time & listening to music of most genres.  My favorite genre is Neo Soul music as it relaxes me.  I love scented candles to soothe my sense of smell, love to dance & travel.  Overall, using your five senses is one of the best ways to self soothe.  But most importantly, my goal is to connect with you, understand you and help you with your journey to recovery.  Hope to hear from you soon!
