New to Grow
My name is Lindsey and I’m a licensed mental health counselor who aims to provide a safe, supportive, and welcoming space for individuals to process any areas of dissatisfaction in their life. We can work together to identify areas of strength and areas that could benefit from further growth. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and use a strengths-based, forward-focused approach to help clients build emotional regulation skills, repair relationships, manage stress, and develop a stronger sense of self.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, clients can expect a validating and welcoming environment that aims to begin a discussion around the motivating factors to joining therapy. We will explore any previous experiences in therapy that may or may not have felt helpful. We will begin identifying goals for therapy in order to develop an individualized treatment plan that is tailored toward your specific needs.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Fourteen years of experience in the human services field has provided me with a vast array of experience and insight into working with many different mental health issues and treatment interventions. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship between a client and their therapist and value the experience that comes with consistency, compassion, and a space where healing feels possible.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are those who want a supportive and nonjudgmental space to heal from the past, develop practical skills, and move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding. I have advanced training in working with individuals with substance use disorder and remain committed to working with individuals at any stage of recovery who want support managing emotions, rebuilding relationships, and creating a life that feels worth staying sober for.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Drawing from a foundation in DBT and a strengths-based approach, I aim to empower clients to move beyond patterns of past trauma and interpersonal conflict towards a life that feels more manageable, balanced, and fulfilling.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing focuses on a collaborative, person-centered approach to counseling that is designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation and commitment to change. This treatment method can be helpful for individuals who are struggling with substance use disorder or other patterns of behavior that may be counterproductive to your overall goals.
Strength-Based
A Strength-Based approach to therapy focuses on a person’s abilities, resources, resilience, and potential. It can explore previous successes and help identify what was beneficial or worked well in a past situation to help improve a current situation.
