Hi, my name is Lindsay Wasik, and I am so glad you have found my page. You are probably here because you have been thinking about making some changes in your life.

We can often feel controlled by our emotions, struggling to think clearly, and simply reacting, rather than directing our own life path. It can feel like a tornado of thoughts quickly swirling, leaving us feeling tense and discouraged that life could look any different.

The goal is to provide you with the tools for this to happen so you can move forward with confidence to live a more positive and balanced life.

My heart is to help individuals and families in need. I am passionate about helping the broken, the lonely, and those in pain. I believe in a person-first approach in which we work together to help address needs and solve problems.

No one wants pain or suffering, but what if your methods for dealing with them haven’t worked—and may even have complicated matters? Welcome to the human race!—and to therapy where a professional perspective makes the difference.
