Hi! I’m Lindsey Matthews come on in! I work with individuals and couples to establish and maintain the person/people you want to be, by creating goals and coping skills with you to get there.

Welcome to a therapeutic journey of self-discovery and growth! With over a decade of experience as a Mental Health Social Worker, I've had the privilege of guiding diverse individuals through life's complexities. Each unique experience has honed my skills in various evidence-based practices, shaping my approach to providing support. Life holds both beautiful moments and profound challenges. It's natural to feel overwhelmed by emotions like uncertainty, anxiety, isolation, depression, grief, guilt, fear. These feelings can intensify our sense of separation, making it difficult to navigate alone.

I am experienced in helping clients with a variety of life challenges including anxiety, depression, ADHD, gender identity, trauma, grief, and anger management. I specialize in working with young adults in the LGBTQIA community, neurodivergent individuals, health care workers, and veterans. In addition, I have training in veterinary social work, which includes working with veterinarians and animal rescue workers, as well as addressing issues surrounding pet loss and grief.

My passion is helping others find ways to navigate all that this ever-changing, fast-paced world can throw at us. For over 15 years I have worked with adults, adolescents, and their families. If you are suffering because life has given you obstacles you don't feel you can overcome, I can help.

My passion is helping others find ways to manage their challenges in this ever-changing journey we call life. For over 27 years I have worked with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families in a variety of settings; including home, school, office, and in the community. I pride myself in building therapeutic relationships with each individual I work with. By achieving this, I believe we can then work together to help identify what is challenging you currently to get you to the life you choose to live successfully.

I believe that through a safe and judgment-free therapeutic relationship true growth, empowerment, and healing can occur in any individual's life. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have an extensive range of clinical experience providing mental health services for depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, grief, family and relationship issues, career exploration, and the LGBT population. All are welcome here. I see clients starting at age 13 through adult and welcome you to take a step towards a better quality of life and self care by contacting me to set up an appointment.

We all deserve a place where we can feel safe and supported. Through my practice, I aim to provide a genuine, non-judgmental, and empathic space for you to explore your concerns and work towards your personal goals. I believe that therapy is meant to help people learn more about themselves and their experiences. I work collaboratively with clients to share their thoughts, process their emotions and experiences, develop insight, improve their relationships, and build skills for managing distress.

I work with individuals, couples, and families. It can be overwhelming reaching out for help when you are feeling lost, hopeless, anxious, or confused. It can be scary to begin your therapy journey. My role is to make sure that you feel comfortable to open up in ways that have previously felt impossible. On day one, I will join with you, hear your story, find where you want to go, and walk this path with you in a thoughtful, intentional, and caring way.

Making adjustments in your life can feel overwhelming and is not something you have to do alone. Therapy is a partnership that holds space for us to come together and explore any stuck points that may be holding you back from living the life you want. My approach to psychotherapy is relationship-focused and person-centered, recognizing that each individual deserves unique care.

Are you overwhelmed by life and not sure how to get through another day? Troubled by the past and not sure how to resolve it? Is anxiety, depression, or grief the main feelings you experience on a daily basis? Do you want to be content and free from worry? To enjoy life to it's fullest?

I want to be there for you in the places that so often feel isolating. It's important to me that you have a place in the therapy relationship where you don't have to be 'fine.' My hope for our work together is that your distressing and overwhelming experiences can be connected to your life without fully overwhelming the rest of your life.

I have openings for in person and telehealth appointments. Have you experienced a trauma, loss, or major life transition; you may have feelings of deep sadness, anger, or disconnection. You may also be experiencing racing thoughts, nervousness, or trouble sleeping. Everyday can feel difficult, and you are wondering if these feelings will ever lift. Through therapy you can find hope, healing, and support. Together we will find answers to your questions and build your resilience and strength.

Even though transitions are a part of all of our lives, they sometimes stir up old pain or are just too overwhelming to navigate without some help. You deserve the time and support to work through it and counseling can provide that for you. I believe in a person centered, interpersonal, cognitive behavioral and strength based counseling approach. I have over 17 years of experience using these approaches working with individuals of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, chronic illnesses and transitions at all stages of life.

We are living in tender times. Many of us are undergoing internal shifts and personal transformations while the world at large is also shifting beneath our feet. Working together, we can find ways to cope creatively with life's many challenges. My work is inspired by each individual client’s unique potential for wholeness. I enjoy working with individuals on issues of gender, sexuality, relationships, intimacy, spirituality, wellness and authenticity. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly & aware. My other areas of competence include anxiety, depression, grief, and adjustment to life transitions.

Welcome! As humans, we are all on a path of healing and growing. We are born with intrinsic worth, but through painful experiences, we internalize untruths. Our work is about creating a new truth by trimming the pain that keeps you stuck in shame, toxic relational patterns, negative thoughts, unhealthy habits and loss of purpose. Collaboration is the foundation of my work. Humans are the experts in their lives, but I do have experience and training in how to help people make the changes they desire, as well as providing compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental care.

My therapeutic intervention is looking at the past as necessary in making changes for the future. I'm certain that any unwanted behavior can be unlocked by recognizing the purpose or wanted outcome for said behavior and my passion is helping you identify that unmet need and make healthy changes. I enjoy working with clients that are willing to do things outside of the therapeutic office setting such as writing, art, and/or practicing skills learned, and then reporting back in session the helpfulness of each strategy.

My passion as an MSW intern include helping adults, couples, and older teens, struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, substance use, pre and postpartum challenges, relational challenges, and various life obstacles.

In our sessions, we will work together in order to overcome the current obstacles you may be facing.
