We all struggle in the relationships that are important to us and need help some of the time to develop skills to strengthen these relationships. We lose connection and have difficulty communicating with our partners or spouses; we get stuck in conflict with our children; we lose track of who we are; we dread going to work because it feels hostile or unsafe; we question our faith; we have trouble expressing needs at school; and we neglect our bodies and our health. The relationships we have with ourselves and others are always evolving and we need to change with them.

I operate from a psychodynamic-interpersonal perspective and utilize relational-cultural and feminist frameworks to explore how our identities and experiences have been influenced by the environments and systems we exist in. My areas of interest include working with concerns related to identity development, late adolescence and emergent/early adulthood, interpersonal and relational concerns, women’s concerns, and family of origin trauma.

My goal as a counselor is to create a positive, supportive environment in which you can explore yourself, your needs,and your goals. You will also have the opportunity to assess the barriers that prevent you from reaching your full potential. The rational, holistic, and non-judgmental nature to the counseling I provide allows YOU to guide your own counseling experience.

My passion is working with clients who struggle with eating concerns and body image issues. I have experience with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. I can also help if you feel that your relationship with food and/or exercise is complicated but have not been diagnosed with an eating disorder. I practice from a Health at Every Size perspective and offer an inclusive space for all. I value being empathetic while challenging my clients to step outside of their comfort zone and unlock their strengths. Taking the first step to get help and support can be intimidating but it can lead to growth and change!

Through the lens of Bowen Systems Theory I work towards providing insight and awareness into the emotional process that we often find ourselves intensely reacting from. Building on that insight and awareness, decreasing the emotional reactivity while increasing calmer and more rational choices. Looking at our emotional patterns to better understand them allows us then to think in a way that can provide an openness to making different choices. To know better is to do better! To understand why we react to our situations and where those patterns have been learned, we can then start to look at each new moment as it’s own.

Managing life's stressors and challenges can be difficult to do alone. You may feel worried, overwhelmed and stressed. Maybe you need healing from a difficult life event. I want to help support you in embracing self-awareness while developing the value of boundary setting and healthy interpersonal relationships and reducing feelings of self criticism. I strongly believe in the importance of building a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients and treating a person as a whole. My goal is to help you gain self-awareness while healing and challenging unhealthy thoughts and/or beliefs.

I believe as human beings we all need to feel a sense of hope and we all deserve support during challenging or stressful times.

As a counselor I have 20+ years of experience working with adults and children. I treat my clients in a compassionate and professional manner and my approach is usually eclectic as I choose them according to the needs of my client. Techniques used by me are CBT, REBT, ACT, Motivational, Gestalt approach, meditation, relaxation and guided imagery. My expertise is in mood disorders such as depression, bipolar disorders, and on anxiety disorders such as OCD, panic disorder, and phobias.

I have and continue to treat dually diagnosed substance abuse clients.

I’m Lindsay Repko and I’m a psychotherapist committed to offering you a protected place to effectively explore the depths of who you truly are and what you want for your life, whether your experience of suffering is old or new. This sounds simple, but our modern society can make such a space hard to find, and cultural norms or taboos can pressure us to hide parts of ourselves in shame. When this happens, people often push relationships away that they need and experience pain and isolation.
