Lindsey Garber

My communication style

I prefer to ask clients what their preferred communication style is. Some clients prefer very direct communication, while others tend to prefer a softer approach. In general, I operate from a trauma-informed perspective, which focuses on client strengths and providing empathy. I want my clients to guide their treatment, with my support.

My journey to mental healthcare

I think everyone can benefit from having someone empathetic and supportive. I have always loved talking to people and hearing their stories. I am fascinated by the unique life experiences that shape us into the people we are. Most people in this profession have experienced things that have made them passionate about being a safe person for others.

My goals for you

Treatment will start with you identifying what you are hoping to get out of our time together. As we build a relationship, I will offer suggestions to help you reach the goals you identified. This is your treatment and we are a team.

Our first session

During the first session, I will ask you to tell me what brings you to treatment, what your experience with therapy has been in the past, what worked well, and what didn't. Then we will discuss goals for our time working together. I will also ask some questions to get to know you. The first session allows us to get to know one another.

I identify as...

• Female
• Asian, Caucasian or White
