Hey, I’m Lindsey (they/them)
I provide telehealth therapy sessions, with the option of in person sessions in Bucks County, PA.
Have you been looking for a therapist who doesn’t panic when you say you’ve self-harmed? Have you been trying to find a therapist who understands how difficult it is to hold onto hope when you’re chronically suicidal? Are you looking for a therapist who will teach you concrete skills to start feeling better faster, so you can get back to your life?
I can help. I have 15 years of experience working with people who are chronically suicidal, self-harm, and have difficulty regulating their emotions. I teach concrete DBT skills to help you manage your emotions, improve your communication skills, deal with distressing situations, and build a mindfulness practice.
Call or email me to talk about what you want out of therapy, and how I can support you achieving your goals.
Individual Therapy: $150
Sliding scale rates and Super Bills available upon request.
I also provide one-session assessments for gender dysphoria letters. Gender affirming care should not have gatekeeping barriers.
EMDR Certified and DBT Trained
My therapy sessions have their foundations in the DBT training I received from Marsha Linehan, Ph.D. in 2013.
We work together to ensure you have the distress tolerance and emotion regulation skills needed to begin trauma work. We can then target situations in your past that have caused trauma.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has over 30 years worth of evidence of its effectiveness in treating trauma.
Using bilateral (both side) stimulation, such as you tapping your shoulders, trauma can be processed and moved through without needing to give a detailed description of the event.
My Approach
Non-Judgmental
I adhere to DBT’s assumptions that clients:
Are doing the best that they can
Want to Improve
Have to do better, try harder, and be more motivated for change
Might not have caused all their problems, but have to solve them anyway
Have lives that are unbearable as they are currently being lived
Must learn new behaviors in all relevant situations
Cannot fail in therapy
Collaborative
You are the expert on you. We work together in therapy to figure out the steps that need to be taken to create the change you want in your life.

It depends on a multitude of factors.
I believe that therapy is a life-long journey to self-understanding. And, my goal is to work myself out of a job - because you're so busy living and enjoying your life that you don't feel the need to attend therapy anymore.
The skills taught in DBT group take 6 months to teach. We recommend that you stay in DBT skills group for at least a year.
The first 6 months of DBT skills group feels like getting hit by a Mac truck: feeling blown away by all the new information and ways of responding.
The second 6 months of DBT skills group feels a bit more comfortable. You remember being taught the skills. You can give examples of how you have used the skills. You feel ready to put your all into Building A Life Worth Living.
