"Are you having conflicts in a current relationship and not feeling supported or loved by your partner? Or have you recently lost a relationship and are going through painful feelings of grief or loss? I help individuals (not couples) process these feelings to better understand what is happening, become more aware of patterns you may have and how to improve your current or future relationships. I emphasize creating a safe environment to share your thoughts and feelings and encourage feedback to meet your individual needs."

"(I am currently providing telephone sessions due to Covid-19). I am a licensed psychotherapist providing therapy for adult individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My office is located in the inner Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco, and I offer both time-limited and open-ended therapy. I work collaboratively with clients, and believe that personal transformation is about getting out of one's own way to create a broader perspective. That is freedom. "

""Therapy is about becoming unstuck, connecting with a deeper sense of what's important to you, what really matters, what you really want deeply for yourself in your life. Letting go of stale, habitual, suffocating stories which restrict you. And opening to new, gentler, friendlier narratives of possibility, guiding purposeful action in support of what you passionately value and really want for yourself. Life's challenges, loss, grief, relationship difficulties, blocks in creativity, family stressors, work challenges, difficult emotions, loss of purpose and direction... My approach is direct, humourous, warm, compassionate, down-to-earth and gentle."

"Are you a person of color, LGBTQ, or woman-identified professional in a high demand field? Have you been wearing that superhero cape for far too long? Ready to feel more peace in your life? You’ve come to the right place. I’m Dr. Lindsey Brooks and I work with underrepresented achievers. I’ll help you feel more grounded, balanced, and resilient. You might be thinking to yourself: "I need to keep it all together”, “If I just work harder and push myself more, then everything will be okay”, or “I have to stay strong for my family”. Everyone around you sees you as a success, yet something still feels like it’s missing. "

"In your search for a therapist, you are taking an important step to explore ways to create a shift in developing healthier patterns in your life.It is my role to support you in this important process. Untangling the seeming complexity of how we perceive our experiences is a crucial element in my practice. Each one of us embodies profound gifts that are typically suppressed primarily due to years of unhealthy patterns. Our sessions are an exploration to quiet emotional discomfort and establish healthier patterns that feel authentic and sustaining."

"Psychotherapy is about building relationships. In seeking a therapist, it's important to find one who "gets you"; is able to understand your unique way of relating to the world and to others in your life. My goal is to be accepting of who you are, to help you better understand patterns in your life that are holding you back. I seek to create an environment where you can develop trust, feel safe, respected, cared for. Psychotherapy can be scary and requires a commitment on the part of both the therapist and the client. Although the road is sometimes painful, we travel through it together."

"I help women who are feeling anxious and depressed, stop feeling overwhelmed with emotion so their relationships don’t suffer and they can feel like themselves again. Do you feel like when it comes to your career you’ve got it down, but in your relationships (or lack of) you’re a hot mess? Do you keep dating unavailable guys or getting into fights with your partner because of trust issues? Do you have this habit of losing yourself in your partner? I get it. Relationships are hard. They can be confusing and make you really doubt yourself. "

I work with individuals, couples and families who are struggling with addiction and substance use through a harm reduction framework.

"

"I believe people come to therapy when they are ready and because they are actively and consciously seeking a happier, more balanced life. The motivation it takes to make that first phone call is a major step towards positive change. My style of therapy is interpersonal, supportive, open and communicative. I find that most people appreciate some guidance, direction and practical feedback. I also encourage exploration of unconscious repetitive patterns of behavior in relationships and making changes when appropriate."

Use this time in online therapy with me to deepen your relationship with yourself, others, and your community and live out your passions. Long past when therapy has ended, you will use new tools for clarity, decision making, and purpose."

"I love to work with individuals and couples to discover the emotions and attachment needs which drive their thoughts and behaviors. Sometimes we have feelings that are difficult to experience or express, and so we act in ways to protect the most vulnerable parts of ourselves. This may lead to conflict in our primary relationships, depression, anxiety, substance use, or just the sense that one's life could be more fulfilling. In couples, this can lead to cycles of communication that make it difficult for each partner to know how to soothe their partner and their own self."

"Congratulations on taking the first step towards a big life change! Starting therapy is a tremendous gesture of courage and self-love. It can also be scary or daunting to know where to begin. Whatever is bringing you to therapy at this moment - a break up, a loss, the all encompassing changes of welcoming a baby, the gut wrenching challenges of fertility struggles, the anticipation and transitions of pregnancy- will be explored with openness, curiosity and acceptance. We all struggle in life and are not meant to do it alone. Things do get easier when we share ourselves and are received without shame or judgment. "

"You may be experiencing overwhelming feelings. Whether anxiety, depression, anger or other emotions, I will provide you with a safe space to express yourself and with tools to move forward. I use a variety of tools such as mindfulness, guided visualization, "psycho-genealogy", Gottman method, CBT. I taylor my work to you. I can be a sounding board for you. I will help you understand what is happening to you by zooming out from your story and together, we will bring all the pieces of your puzzle into a clear picture."

" I consider clients as equal participants in therapy sessions. I prefer to think of “the client” as “the initiator” and more importantly, as “the expert” in their own process. My role is “the reflector” of your unfolding process. I believe that each of us inherently has the ability to transform, and that this transformation can happen rapidly. My role as your reflector is to help you access your own inner healer. I do so with loving kindness and an emphasis on present-moment awareness. Together, we create a container where you can feel safe to access and express whatever wants to come forth. The work you do to heal – we do together!"

"Psychotherapy can be a powerful means of finding your ground to live out your potential, which can be triggered by suffering. I offer support in seeking meaning and assistance in growth in the face of challenges. Compassion and understanding can be powerful tools for facing conflicts that are beyond your current understanding. I work with adults using psychodynamic and transpersonal frameworks."

"Right now I am offering therapy remotely, using video sessions. It actually works very well. The technology is easy, involving only a link to click at our appointment time. The connection is steady, secure, and HIPAA-compliant. I have been conducting video sessions as an effective part of my practice for many years. These days video offers the added bonus of being an ethical choice to reduce sickness and mortality. I welcome inquiries for working with adults, couples, families, and teens. "
