Douglas Linder

Hi, I’m Douglas.
I began working in the field of addiction and recovery in 2008 and quickly moved into leadership, running a large recovery program from 2009 to 2011. From 2012 to 2015 I worked at a Methadone clinic as a counselor. From 2015 to 2019, I held licensure in Florida as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Addictions Professional (CAP), providing professional counseling and guidance to individuals and families.
Today, I continue this work as a Life Coach, bringing over 15 years of experience to the people I serve. My approach blends the insight of psychology with the practicality of coaching, creating a supportive space for reflection, accountability, and lasting transformation.
What makes my coaching unique:
Proven leadership: Directed a large recovery program (2009–2011).
Clinical foundation: Licensed as an LMHC and CAP (2015–2019).
Coaching expertise: Helping clients move forward with clarity and confidence to this day.
Whether you’re navigating recovery, facing a life transition, or seeking direction for your future, I bring both professional depth and compassionate support to help you create your next chapter.
