MEET LINDSEY

A little blurb that relates to your ideal client…

Do you ever feel alone in the world, even when surrounded by people? Maybe you’ve spent years feeling different, misunderstood, or exhausted trying to meet expectations that don’t match how your brain works. Some begin to notice their own neurodivergence after their child is diagnosed with autism/ADHD, and suddenly lifelong patterns start to make more sense. Maybe you've spent years masking, overthinking, in burnout mode, wondering why everyday life feels much harder than it seems for everyone else.

You’re not broken…

I know what it’s like to feel unseen….

Since masking lives in the body, Brainspotting helps release stored stress when talking alone hasn’t been enough. We locate where the stress is held and allow your nervous system to process it without needing to explain or relive every detail. For those ready to go deeper, intensives provide focused space for lasting change beyond a weekly session.

It’s normal to feel hesitant about reaching out. You don’t need certainty or the right words. When you contact me, we’ll talk through what you’re looking for and see if it feels like a good fit, then schedule your appointment.

My Approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs.  My favorite modalities to use in therapy are  Somatic Therapy, Brainspotting, Person-Centered Therapy ,and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). 

Lindsey Schmidt uses an integrative, neuro-affirming, trauma-informed approach that combines Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic Therapy, and Brainspotting. She works collaboratively with clients to tailor treatment to their individual needs rather than following a single therapeutic model. Her practice focuses on helping autistic and ADHD adults, as well as individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, and life transitions, with an emphasis on reducing masking, increasing self-understanding, and supporting authentic, sustainable well-being.

I am a mom, a wife, a sister, a friend, and advocate. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with kids, relaxing at the beach, going to the theatre, and practicing Pilates.
