Linda Royster, LCMHC

Strategic Alliances Manager

Linda Royster has been called to traumatized populations since 1997. She has worked with latency-age children, adolescents, and adults in hospital, academic, and non-profit milieus, respectively. Linda holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology Graduate School and is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works therapeutically with a diverse clientele. Also, she authored the addendum of the 25th-anniversary re-release of Healing the Wounded Heart by Dr. Dan Allender. Her addendum addresses issues that African-American women survivors of childhood abuse might face.

Linda currently is the Strategic Alliances Manager at the Allender Center. She is deeply committed to the recovery, healing, and well-being of her people.

In addition, Linda also leads the Racial Trauma & Healing Gathering, creating spaces where communities can engage the deep work of healing and restoration.
