My Philosophy
People deserve space to explore hard questions and to be met with practical support when they need answers. I dive deep with directness and compassion.
Not all body-minds are the same--that simple reason is why my methods are individualized, person-centered, and culturally responsive. I incorporate an array of modalities though find body-based (somatic) and relational modalities are predominantly utilized and effective for the majority of my clients. I am oriented towards intersectional feminist, trauma-focused, poly-vagal theory, and attachment-based lenses.
Bio

Lindsey Anderson
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) with the Center for Mindful Psychotherapy and passionate about uplifting neurodiversity, disability empowerment, queerness, and mental health. I believe that all people not only deserve the right to self-determine their futures, but also deserve accessible tools to pave their path ahead.
Historical perspectives and divergent grassroots narratives are the context for my practice, honoring the complex, intersectional histories of disabled and neurodivergent life. After having an unexpectedly positive experience in therapy myself, I have a strong desire to utilize my clinical privilege to address the human experience from a non-pathologizing lens. I identify as a white, neurodivergent, autistic, ADHD experiencing femme queer from the south who values and prioritizes communal interdependence, abolition, and liberation.
