Lindsay Brown

As a counsellor, Lindsay finds strength and resiliency in her clients. Her career in psychotherapy started with a basic tenet that has now become the root of her practice: helping clients feel safe getting vulnerable. Lindsay works with clients to uncover inner conflicts, so they can leave feeling less shame, more ease, and an overall sense of being understood.

Lindsay believes a good chat can change a lot. Her goal is to help clients develop new feelings and perspectives that can shift mindsets that may be keeping them stuck. Before transitioning to private practice, Lindsay’s counselling career focused on residential treatment for substance abuse and working with teens, parents, and families in the non-profit sector. This experience grounded her awareness of trauma and attachment, addiction, and complex mental health concerns.

Lindsay sees clients experiencing anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship concerns, self-esteem and identity concerns, workplace stress, and current or desired life transitions. For clients experiencing challenges related to work or major changes in their lives, work and life stressors can also be an important area to explore.

Lindsay offers services to individuals and couples who are working to repair or reunify broken attachment and those involved in high-risk conflicts that other clinicians may not feel comfortable seeing. This includes working with abuse, sexual violence, or individuals and families affected by a loved one’s addiction.

She also works with parents and families around parenting concerns and changing family dynamics. Parenting support can be helpful for families looking to better understand communication and relationship challenges at home.

In more recent years, Lindsay has gained experience working with men, men-related issues, communication, anger management, and sex and pornography-related concerns. Lindsay is a trained Emotion-Focused Couples Therapist and values her work in bringing couples together to communicate and heal.

This includes working with partners with a past history of trauma, parenting concerns, extramarital affairs, alternative relationships, or developing plans to handle separation or divorce with compassion. For couples working through the impact of infidelity, affair recovery support is a related area of counselling.

Lindsay is easy to talk to, uses humour and lightness to discuss salient topics, and believes a warm and non-judgmental space and a therapist are most important for a client’s growth. She looks forward to meeting with you.
