At some point in our lives, we all experience feelings such as sadness, anger, grief, loneliness and disappointment. For some, these feelings can last longer than expected and start to interfere with daily life. Shame, guilt and fear of being judged often prevent people from reaching out for help. My hope is to create a safe and non judgmental environment for you to process difficult emotions and explore how to overcome obstacles.

Life can be challenging and I believe that we are each on our own journey to understand what it means to live a full and meaningful life. My philosophy is that we all can benefit from taking time to care for our mental well-being. I treat the whole person, with an appreciation for how the mind and the body are connected, and an understanding of how culture and society influence our lived experiences.

I treat adolescents and adults dealing with anxiety, questioning their careers, having relationship issues, or just feeling like something isn't right and craving change. I work with people - students, artists, musicians, freelancers, and working professionals - who want to know and understand themselves better.

The impact that a life-changing diagnosis can have on individuals and their families can be profound. It can feel like a betrayal when our bodies don’t allow us to live our lives the way we expect, impacting our relationships, careers, and hopes. How can we move forward in life when it feels like our bodies are holding us back? How do we grieve our hopes and dreams while trying to fully understand how they are affected by our new circumstances? How do we do all of this while trying to navigate a medical system that often leaves us feeling unheard and unseen?

The best kind of therapy will help you feel more alive to yourself and open to the world. In my practice, I have seen countless times how a strong patient-therapist relationship can be a life-changing resource. I'm deeply invested in understanding why you're in my office today—whether due to dispiriting relationships, self-destructive habits, or a bleak self-image—while simultaneously helping you locate the more capable and resourceful parts of your identity. My style is warm, curious but also candid and direct. I trust that my patients have come to me because they can handle (and need) honesty.

It requires a lot of strength and courage to ask for help. Reaching out can be scary and unsettling, but you don't have to do it alone. I acknowledge what it took for you to seek help, and want to provide a safe, warm and comfortable environment for you to talk and open up. A strong therapeutic alliance is the key in ensuring honest, open, and constructive communication. In my sessions, I like to work together as two experts tackling your problems. I am direct, interactive, and genuine and will always be honest and upfront with you.

Life at times can be difficult turning your world upside down .I offer a direct eclectic experienced approach to psychotherapy to manage and resolve symptoms of Acute Stress Disorder, PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, depression and personal recovery treatment related to addictions and aftercare. I place a strong importance on you feeling safe, heard, and understood in the therapeutic relationship. Each intervention is designed to the unique needs of the client, enhancing personal choice, inner strengths, and self empowerment. Accepting new clients. Weekend appointments available.

Welcome! I’m Lindsay (she/her) and I offer a mind, body, and spirit approach to navigating trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and more to clients living in New York State. I also have a unique niche in fertility and menstrual health. Starting therapy can come with mixed emotions, which is why I seek to create a space for you to be your true self without judgment. You’re welcome to share all the emotions and stories you’ve ever been ashamed of or have tried to suppress. You don’t have to carry it all alone, and I’m here to support you.

We are thrown into life without any guide. Life asks much from us, takes much from us and gives much to us. Learning how to fundamentally hold your own in your own existence, live by your own desires, your own passions, is central to living a life that you find meaningful and develop relationships that are deep leading to an overall sense of happiness. I help clients accept reality as it is, to learn to be themselves and to enjoy being themselves. Internal harmony is essential to human happiness. In sessions, clients discover the totality of their personhood, come to appreciate being alive, to thrive rather than to simply survive.

At Surrey Psychotherapy, we're here to support individuals who are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Our clients seek help with issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, addiction and relationship challenges. They long for a happier, more fulfilling life, and they want to understand themselves better. Together, we'll work towards your goals of healing, resilience, and a brighter future. Your transformation begins here!

My approach to therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented. Within a non-judgmental space that feels safe, supportive, and empathetic, we dedicate ourselves to the exploration of inner life experiences and associated emotions and behaviors. The goal is to be heard and understood while progressing thoughtfully toward desired change by integrating various therapeutic techniques, including talk-therapy (psychodynamic), trauma-informed (EMDR and RTM), mindfulness and somatic (body centered) approaches. As a twin, I also specialize in twin-loss, in all stages of bereavement.

My ideal clients are young women struggling with relationships, self esteem, and body image. If they grew up in a manipulative, abusive, or enmeshed environment, they might find themselves taking on perfectionistic or caretaking behaviors. They might also be experiencing a “quarter life crisis,” exploring a new career path, or unpacking how family dynamics have impacted them. My vision is for clients to put themselves first, live by their values, and understand their needs. In our work together, we’ll get clear on how your past has influenced your present so you can build a life that aligns with what’s most important to you.

Jennifer helps her clients to recognize and make the changes necessary to create a life they love. Through several years of clinical experience, Jennifer has found that therapy is most effective when grounded in understanding, collaboration, and motivation. She prioritizes creating a supportive environment in which individuals feel both safe and inspired to make powerful strides towards a more fulfilled self.

Wherever you are on your path, I am here to meet and walk with you. I have had the opportunity to work with children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate grief, anxiety, OCD, trauma, ADHD, depression, body image issues, eating disorders, sexuality and gender, and life transitions. Therapy should be a space where growth is collaborative, creative, and safe. Healing can look and feel differently for everyone, which is why I prioritize a kind, calm, and supportive space for you to explore what your healing looks like. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself, with support and no judgement. Change is possible.

Here is how I see it- every one of us has encountered unique challenges in our lives that have led us to how we are feeling and functioning in this moment. Often times, these challenges lead us to be harsh, inflexible, and unforgiving to ourselves, resulting in unwanted consequences in our relationships with ourselves, others, our work, and our families. My goal with clients is to help you gain knowledge, skills, and compassion as we explore these challenges and find new ways for you to relate to yourself and the world.

Life is worth living when we feel authentic and genuine, and engage in meaningful relationships. Sadness, grief, disappointment, hurt, and loss are all-natural human emotions. Feeling chronically anxious, depressed, inadequate, or unlovable are not. These unrelenting feelings come from an injury (or injuries) that hasn’t healed. Regardless of where your emotional injury comes from, you can learn to regulate your reactions, heal these wounds, take care of yourself, and connect to your sense of meaning and purpose. The more you live in alignment with your values and what is meaningful to you, the better you will feel.

If you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns you don’t need to struggle alone. Therapy with me is a relationship where you can feel free to be (and discover) who you are. Together we create a space where you can speak openly to examine present and past, so that your desires for the future can be fulfilled. In our work you can expect to gain insight into underlying narratives and beliefs that are shaped by a unique personal history, learn new skills that alleviate suffering, heal, notice increased confidence and reduced conflict. When your perspective shifts so does the way others relate to you.

I work with people who are searching for an authentic and interactive therapist who will help them resolve underlying issues that lead them feeling unfulfilled and dissatisfied. I provide an open and validating space so that you can freely explore your difficulties while also challenging you in a non-confrontational way. I have a flexible approach and incorporate techniques from different modalities in order to meet your individual needs. I look forward to collaborating with you and understanding what you're hoping to achieve in therapy.

The process of psychotherapy can be both strange and difficult. You have already taken important and brave beginning steps in deciding to seek out information about therapy and potential therapists. Should you and I decide to work together, I will place great importance on the building of a strong and stable relationship, so that we can work in an open and trusting way. Taking a stance of warmth and curiosity, I create a safe space that welcomes individuals of all cultural, religious, racial, sexual, and gender identities with varying concerns and desires for treatment. We can talk about what will be most helpful to you.
