Taking the first step isn't easy, but difficult first steps can pay off. Interviewing therapists to find someone right for you is a meaningful first step. I provide individual, couples and family therapy in a safe, supportive space. In that space, we will work together to discover what your life is trying to teach you, so you can progress toward creating a life you love. I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

For more than 20 years, I have helped adults, adolescents, and their families to improve their lives through counseling. From my perspective, counseling is a process in which client and therapist work cooperatively on mutually agreed goals, towards client's betterment and emotional health. A traves de terapia he ayudado a muchos adultos, jovenes y familias a mejorar la calidad de sus vidas.

If you have felt the impact of life transitions including anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship and self-esteem issues, therapy can be a beautiful step towards a more fulfilling life. Therapy provides an opportunity to process and explore, in a judgement free space, in order to build upon strengths and identify areas ready for growth and change. As a therapist working in Virginia for well over a decade, I have provided services to both adolescents and adults, assisting with stressors associated with mental health, family and relationship dynamics, communication struggles, life stage changes, and women's issues.

Hi there! My name is Lindsay and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia, and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois. I am also a Certified Autism Specialist (IBCCES). I have a Master of Arts in Counseling with an emphasis in professional mental health counseling. I earned this degree through in-person studies. I would describe myself as nurturing, empathetic, and open-minded. I am also a proud wife and mom, which I believe enrich my role as a therapist. I have over 11 years of experience working in the field of mental health and over seven years working with individuals with autism.

I believe that building a supportive and collaborative relationship with clients is the best way to approach the therapeutic process. Processing difficult life experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment may help reduce internal distress and initiate the healing process. I will apply an insight-oriented approach to help you examine how your thoughts, feelings, and actions may be holding you back. I will help you learn new ways to handle stressors and to better access your natural coping mechanisms. I look forward to hearing from you to see if we might work together.

As a Resident in Marriage and Family Therapy, I specialize in working with couples, parents, and other family configurations. Many couples come to me wanting to learn to communicate and understand each other's perspectives, longing to restore a connection they seem to have lost. Parents come looking for assistance to bring structure and harmony to their home, often struggling with neurodiversity factors and behavior challenges. I also see individuals wanting to make sense of their past and resolve the effects of trauma and life challenges.

I am an licensed independent clinical social work in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I have worked on inpatient hospitals and outpatient therapy. I believe that therapy is an important part of the journey into wellness and self-actualization. I value authentic and genuine connection with my clients. My work aims to assist people in vulnerable times. I partner with you on this journey. Do you have work related stress? Have you been in a difficult transition? Do you have marital or couples issues? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression and adjustment issues? I can help.

As a clinical/developmental psychologist I see myself as a facilitator of your natural tendency toward growth and healing. When life's stresses challenge your resources you may feel overwhelmed and stuck, repeating ineffective patterns. I will help you use your existing strengths to develop new skills. Therapy is most successful as a collaborative effort: You bring your own unique blend of skills and life experience; I contribute expertise in psychodynamic, cognitive/ behavioral, internal family systems, and trauma-based techniques. Together we have the tools to clarify problems, find new perspectives and reach solutions.

I understand that therapy is hard work, time-consuming, and expensive. I want to make sure that you are getting your money's worth and that you are making concrete progress towards your goals. In order to do this, I collaboratively set concrete goals at the outset of treatment and use these goals to track progress with my patients. I work with my patients to identify the function of their problematic behaviors. This helps to reduce shame around the behaviors and encourages acceptance of oneself that unblocks patients and leads to change. I teach my patients value-congruent coping skills to use in place of the problematic behaviors.

At Think Happy Live Healthy, I provide a comprehensive and evidence-based approach to mental health services. I specialize in the treatment of children, adolescents, and adults and acknowledge the connection between mental health and physical health. I work to create an individualized treatment plan that involves therapy, movement, and creating a healthy food lifestyle. I realize the strong connection between our body and minds and use that to provide a more effective kind of treatment for my patients. ​

Stress and related symptoms can to be best addressed for the purpose strengthening coping skills, gaining relief from painful emotional symptoms, improving personal relationships and work productivity. I provide a safe, private environment to talk things over and feel understood as a unique individual, in order to change ways of coping that haven't been working. I help gain insight into feelings and behaviors that get in your way, preventing the past from interfering in the present and replacing self-destructive patterns of behavior with opportunity for a more satisfying life. I offer ketamine assisted therapy as well.

Keeping up appearances is getting harder. Stress, obligations, and worries are taking their toll. Between the many obligations you have, these days there's not much left over for you and it's getting harder to just brush it off and keep going. You wish there was a way to feel more like yourself, reconnect with the people you care about, and maybe even sleep better again. When was the last time you really felt your best? It's starting to feel like it's time to take the next step to take care of YOU now. To be able to really feel inside what you work so hard to show everyone on the outside.

Life was hard enough before corona. Now, as everyone struggles, some are hurting more than others. If that sounds like you, or your child/teen, let's talk.

Whatever is going on, I am here to help and genuinely care about what is best for you.
