For clients interested in Christian counseling, I incorporate wisdom from the Bible to inform identity and faith integration into all areas of life.
My name is Lindsay Murad and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing out of Costa Mesa, California. I work with clients in-person and via telehealth. My therapy style leans more toward coaching so you'll find empathic listening with me while also getting practical and motivational counseling you need to make the life changes you are interested in. I specialize in working with women 18-45 years old who find themselves stuck in interpersonal relationships, career, or life transitions. I consider myself a listener of stories and supporter of personal growth.

As a teen I worked with foster youth who shared their stories of abandonment, loneliness, and trauma. As a kid myself I didn't fully know how to support besides listening and comfort. I never wanted to feel that helpless when helping a fellow human being again so I became a therapist. Watching people heal and having the privilege of being a part of their journey has been my greatest joy as a therapist.

Parenting is rewarding, but it's also one of the hardest jobs. Navigating the responsibilities of managing a household with children can cause parents to feel overwhelmed and stressed. For working parents, things get even more complex. Overseeing department operations can create anxiety for executive level professionals. Trying to juggle one's familial and professional roles can produce extreme burn out. I help executive level parents who are at risk of falling into the self-sacrificing pattern of overextending recover from emotional bankruptcy, enhance the connection with their children and improve their overall quality of life.
