Warm but direct. Grounded in research.
No single model captures what real people are dealing with. Here, evidence-based methods meet genuine curiosity about the deeper factors shaping how you think, feel, and act.
The starting point is always the person in front of Lindsay, not a manual. That said, the work is grounded in approaches with strong research support:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — for thoughts, patterns, and skills that hold up outside the room.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — for values, meaning, and living well alongside hard feelings.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) — for the parts of you that seem to want opposite things.
- Trauma-informed and attachment-based work — for the ways the past keeps arriving in the present.
- Play-based and developmental methods — for children and younger teens.
What sessions actually look like
Sessions are 50 minutes for individuals and up to 75 minutes for couples or extended work. Some are structured; some are conversational. Most are a bit of both. Progress is checked in on openly, not tracked with a clipboard.
A note on evidence and depth
Evidence-based doesn't have to mean formulaic. This practice takes symptom-level work seriously and also makes room for the bigger questions — meaning, identity, values, relationships. Both matter. Both get real time.
The hardest part is reaching out. It gets easier from here.
Fifteen minutes, no cost, no commitment. Just a conversation about what's going on and whether this is the right place to work on it.
