Lindsey Distler, LPC, LPCC — Therapist in Colorado

Hi there, I'm Lindsey!

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Addictions Counselor dedicated to helping adults grow through life’s challenges. I specialize in trauma, substance use, anxiety, and life transitions, offering support for lasting change.

My focus

I work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, substance use, identity exploration, and major life transitions. I provide compassionate support for LGBTQ individuals and those seeking deeper self-understanding and emotional healing.

My approach

I use trauma-informed, evidence-based care, including CBT, CPT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness. I take a whole-person approach, blending structure, compassion, curiosity, and collaboration to support genuine, meaningful growth.

My communication style

Warm, direct, and collaborative. I create a safe, non-judgmental space while offering honest feedback, guidance, and encouragement. I balance compassion with accountability to help you move toward your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to therapy grew from a lifelong pull to support others and strengthen my community. I was inspired by the “why” behind human behavior and the power of change. Witnessing clients heal, grow, and reclaim their lives continues to fuel my passion and reminds me why this work matters.

My goals for you

We define goals together, focusing on what matters most to you. I provide skills, insight, and structured tools, along with reflective “homework” to support growth between sessions. I empower you to build lasting change, step by step.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll explore your history, concerns, and goals at a comfortable pace. I’ll answer questions, share my approach, and begin building a foundation of safety and trust so we can move forward with clarity and confidence.
