Profile and Credentials
Linda Furiate was born in Frankfurt, Germany, daughter of a retired Army Sergeant. Following in her father’s footstep she joined the United States Air Force after graduating from high school. She soon found herself station in Misawa, Japan working with sensitive crypto logic intelligence and attending the University of Maryland. Upon completion of her tour of duty in Japan, Linda was stationed at Ft. Meade, Maryland, headquarters for an intelligence command located midway between Baltimore, Maryland and Washington, D.C. After completing a 6-year tour of duty she left the Air Force and entered into a sales and marketing career. In 1995, her career was abruptly halted when she was involved in a car accident. Shortly, thereafter she was diagnosed with a rare, incurable, neurological movement disorder called, cervical dystonia.
After years of hard work, determination and immense spiritual insight, Linda developed a physical therapy regimen she developed called S.T.E.P.™. Since working this program much of her dystonic movement has subsided. As a result of overcoming her own adversity she created a company called Portraits in Determination to utilize as a platform to help those in need, not only for people with Dystonia, but anyone who may be stricken with adversity. Her focus is to share her experience and to teach others how to grow emotionally and spiritually as they move through their own challenges life presents. She accomplishes this through personal mentoring and coaching sessions.
Linda also hosts her own cable access television talk show of the same name.
Philosophy and Comments
I am highly creative with an intense need to be a leader and to be independent in following a path toward using this power and ambition to facilitate positive outcomes.
I spent many years experiencing one adverse event after another. Through that period I made a promise to myself that I would learn and grow from each encounter so that when the time was right I would be able to turn the tides and allow my experiences to help others. The Universe has also presented me with a life-long disability which allows me to be more empathetic and compassionate toward my clients experiencing similar situations.
Work Hours and Fee Schedule
Work hours are varied depending on my client's needs. Typically, I work normal business hours. I will see clients in my office and am able to counsel clients over the phone making it much more convenient for them.
My rate is $125.00 for a one hour session. (I will work on a sliding scale depending on financial needs.) I typically will ask a client to agree meet with me 2-4 times per month with a 3-6 month minimum. This ensures that we can really work through some issues. I will bill them up front for the first months sessions.
Author/Writer

As part of my work I write numerous articles about healing through adversity. I will profile and individual who grown emotionally and spiritually as a result of their adversity. My goal is to assist in the healing process through my written words and to utilize my writing as a healing tool.
TV/Radio Talk Show Host
I am the creator, producer and host of a cable access television show called Portraits in Determination. Like my writing I interview and profile everyday people who have overcome adversity and have grown emotionally and spiritually as a result of their experiences. This, too, I use as a healing tool to help others.
Astrological Counselor
I provide astrological readings to those who wish to understand themselves on a deeper emotional and psycholigical level and to find their purpose in this lifetime. Astrology is a great tool to help one understand their strengths and weaknesses in order to improve their lives. It's also fun.
