Lindsay Thompson

What problem do you strive to overcome?

Problem: 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

Solution: 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.

Result: 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.
