About Linda

Dr. Linda Sandel P ettit

In the fall of 2011, I’ll begin working at Siena Heights University in Michigan as Director of Counselor Education/Assistant Professor of Counseling.  Presently, I’m wrapping up my coaching, counseling, training and speaking business, which I marketed, for 11 years, under the “WisdomSources PLLC” banner.

Why move from entrepreneurship to academia?  After 30 years of fascinating clinical experience, I am delighted to share what I’ve learned with people just beginning their development as helping professionals.

I’m also interested in doing what I can to shift helping professionals toward a paradigm that TRULY sees and supports the beautiful, healthy spirit that is inside every human being, no matter what they’ve done or been through. My ability to see and understand how to help others connect with the wisdom within them jumped forward when I was introduced to the 3 Principles behind the human experience: Mind, Thought and Consciousness.  These 3 Spiritual Principles were first described by Sydney Banks (www.sydneybanks.org).  When people learn about these 3 Principles, and really begin to glimpse their nature, they often move quickly and easily away from psychological distress toward well-being.

Besides my work at Siena Heights, I’ll continue to do 3 Principles-based training, consulting and coaching with my husband, William F. Pettit, Jr, MD, a psychiatrist,  who has been sharing the 3 Principles understanding for over 30 years with his patients, colleagues, family and friends.  To reach Bill, email wfpettitjr@3-principles.com.  We’ve been blessed to share this understanding with audiences around the United States, in Europe and in Israel.

My academic credentials?  I have a doctorate in counseling psychology from West Virginia University, a master’s degree in counselor education from Siena Heights University and a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Michigan State University.
