Lindsay Wheeler (she/her), LMSW
Lindsay is accepting new clients.
Welcome! I’m Lindsay (she/her) and my goal is that you feel safe and seen while working with me. You deserve to always feel seen for precisely who you are—especially in a therapeutic relationship. I vow to protect your journey and ensure you feel that way here.
I feel strongly that creativity is an avenue to healing and I love engaging in creative activities both in my own life and in the therapy room. If you’re interested in creative expression and/or therapeutic writing, we can incorporate creativity in our course of treatment. I believe wholeheartedly in the power of storytelling, and any story you tell will be received without judgment and with care and affirmation.
As a queer therapist, I practice with an emphasis on sexuality and gender affirming care, as well as on creating a supportive and empathetic therapeutic relationship. I am passionate about fostering a joyful environment that celebrates and affirms LGBTQIA+ identity and gender expansiveness. In therapy, clients are free to explore who they are in a space that exists outside of society’s dominant narrative. Intersectionality is the framework on which all my work rests, and I recognize the way power, privilege, and oppression impact my clients both inside and outside of the therapy room.
My work is tailored specifically to each client’s needs and desires, with an emphasis on person-centered, supportive care. I am dedicated to my clients and receptive to client feedback, prepared at every juncture to pivot or try new approaches. In a world that tries to tell us who we are at every turn, I approach the therapeutic relationship with an understanding that you know yourself better than anyone else ever will. I am intentional about fostering personal autonomy, and receptive to the feelings, thoughts, and needs that make up your internal experience at any moment. I prioritize approachability, bringing a gentle lightheartedness to the room and humor when appropriate. I recognize the strength and courage it takes to navigate stigma and seek guidance, and I will honor your strength by walking beside you with great care. I look forward to getting to know you, learning more about what matters to you, and supporting you on your healing journey.
