I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW), Sociologist, and Life Coach with over 15 years experience providing therapeutic services to adults, adolescents and children. I have worked with individuals in a variety of settings, including inpatient and outpatient settings, crisis and emergency shelter services, community mental health, and medical clinics. I have worked with persons who have been victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, serious mental health issues and homelessness, among others.
My therapy style is motivating and supportive, but direct, while using humor and optimism to develop an effective therapeutic rapport and bring about change. My theoretical orientations primarily used are person-centered and cognitive-behavioral. My approach combines Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I will tailor our time together and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have a commitment to quality and compassionate mental health services. I pride myself on being non-biased and non-judgemental.
It takes incredible courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I ALWAYS make every effort to accommodate your schedule and/or time zone. If my current availability does not work with your schedule, please message me directly. I'm happy to try my best to make specific accommodations for you!
Please note that I diligently check your messages daily, other than Sundays. I look forward to working with you!

As with any good therapist, she tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Lindsey is excellent! I haven’t had great luck with therapists in the past, so I thought I’d give BetterHelp a try. I was matched with Lindsey and from our first session was one of the best therapy sessions I’ve ever had. The second was even better! I will continue to use Lindsey as my therapist from her in out.

Lindsey is a very professional, compassionate listener. She understands my fears and has consistently nurtured my mind to overcome them with her very practical strategies. She is very good. It's a 10/10 for me. Thank you Lindsey

I was very nervous about therapy as I had done it years ago and had a bad experience but Lindsey has made me realize how good and truly therapeutic it can be. She has such a good way of listening and hearing everything I have to say before giving any suggestions or comments.
