Lyndsey Doolen, MA, LMFT

Lyndsey is Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a background in gender & sexuality exploration & internalized oppression through an intersectional & culturally sensitive lens.  Lyndsey firmly believes in each client’s inherent worth, power, and self-determination to facilitate the shift they are seeking. Her approach to therapy is collaborative & relational – as she believes there is much to be learned by exploring our internal experience with a compassionate and informed collaborator. She tends to be engaged and curious in the therapeutic space, offering observations, asking questions, and sharing any noticeable patterns or connections.

Lyndsey works with individual adults and adolescents, with a special focus on LGBTQ+ and gender affirming care,  trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. Her treatment approach includes a thoughtful combination of narrative, feminist, person-centered, relational, and cognitive-behavioral therapies. Lyndsey works to establish the relational safety needed to examine barriers to clients’ goals, previously adaptive behaviors that may no longer serve them, and new perspectives on existing beliefs while increasing the connection to sense of self and developing ways to communicate boundaries more effectively. She knows therapy can be challenging and finds great benefit in balancing difficult topics with levity and warmth.
