It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take those first steps toward change - I’m glad you're here. I’m a licensed therapist in Tennessee, Mississippi and Florida with 22 years of experience and I have been providing services for Betterhelp for the past 6 years. Whether you are feeling stuck or facing big challenges in your life, counseling can be helpful and rewarding for anyone wanting positive change. I work with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship difficulties, and many other challenges. I also work with those recovering from narcissistic abuse. My therapy style is interactive, direct, casual and respectful. I want to provide a safe space for you to explore your challenges and solutions. I use principles of different therapies such as cognitive behavior therapy, ACT, and humanistic counseling. In other words, I believe you have the answers within you and we can work together to uncover them and to find solutions. You will learn new problem solving skills that you can apply to future challenges and try on some new perspectives and new behaviors in an effort to bring about the change you would like in your life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Hello! My name is Lindsey and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings including: inpatient addiction treatment, working with survivors of human trafficking and seeing clients in a private practice setting. I received my undergraduate degree in Social Work from Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee and my Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Tennessee. As a therapist, my goal is to bring hope, acceptance, and healing to those who are hurting or facing difficult life challenges. I emphasize an approach that is focused on you, the client, in an honest, safe, and collaborative process that will help you to maximize your innate capacity for wellness. We will work together, utilizing the resources and strengths that you bring, to help you to identify and obtain your goals. I integrate a number of effective approaches in my work, though this often depends on the needs of the individual. Central to my approach is the belief each of us is designed to seek deep connection with one another and that life’s difficulties are often caused by unmet psychological and emotional needs. These needs can often be identified during the therapy process and lead to more fulfilling relationships and overall increased well-being. Areas of specialty include treatment of trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, adoption related concerns, self-esteem, and those generally feeling stuck in life. I have experience in treating children, adolescents, and adults in a safe and nurturing setting. Please contact me to discuss how you can work towards finding the life that you deserve.
