Lindsay Thompson
Registered Social Worker Psychotherapist
When you have lived in survival mode, experiencing relationship pain, depression, anxiety and unhappiness, you begin to feel like maybe nothing can help. This is where I come in. As an attachment-based trauma therapist, I help clients who have lived through childhood trauma and other adverse life experiences.
I have foundational training in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, neurobiology and neuroscience of trauma, as well as a solid understanding of DBT. I approach client presenting concerns from a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens; drawing from attachment theory and the tenets of client-centred psychotherapy.
I aim to provide a warm and validating environment where you can explore your concerns with safety, curiosity, support, and if appropriate, humour. Therapy is a collaborative process- with you arriving as the content expert of your life, and myself offering some tools and co-regulation as we create new meaning.
