Linton Hester was born and raised in the sunshine state of Florida. He is a proud HBCU graduate of  Florida Memorial University in Miami, Florida. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Communication/Public Relations followed by two professional degrees from Liberty University. Linton has committed nearly a decade of clinical experience providing quality care to individuals, couples & families and working professionals struggling to manage psychological maladies deriving from interpersonal challenges. His skillset has compelled him to lend his expertise to acute, subacute, community-driven settings, as well as providing needed counseling services to men and women actively serving and to those who have served. He is devoted to helping destigmatize mental health, demonstrate his passion through efficacy and concentrate his effort to the melanin community where mental health has been the proverbial food desert.  When he is not providing community service, mentoring or advocating for social change, he enjoys reading, exercising, history, playin golf and any indoor/outdoor competitive activities.  More than anything, he adores spending time with his wife of 20+ years, and twin sons.
