Lindsay Elledge

My communication style

I utilize a mix of indirect and direct approaches, always following and attuning to you wherever you are in the process. If you would like to set a specific goal, we will; if you would rather just focus on the overarching picture, we will do that as well. I prioritize a sense of safety in the therapeutic space, in order to encourage openness.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to the field by noticing the significant impact emotional support and a felt sense of safety can have on a person who experiences trauma. I hold a firm belief that each individual has the innate capacity through their nervous system to heal, and we need safe and co-regulating therapeutic relationships in order to attain this.

My goals for you

We come up with realistic and attainable goals together. I like to periodically check-in regarding the therapeutic process and progress towards treatment goals, to ensure we are on the same page and you feel your needs are being met and attuned to.

Our first session

You can expect that I will listen to you and provide unconditional positive regard. I follow your pace and walk alongside you with a flashlight in hand. My goal for the first session is to prioritize safety, as I know healing can only happen when one feels safe enough to share their story.
