Dr. Avadawn Lindsay

Yay! We found each other! I am your Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Psychologist with more than 23 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and families navigate emotional, behavioral, and academic challenges. I specialize in supporting youth struggling with anxiety, ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, emotional dysregulation, learning differences, and school-related concerns. I use practical, evidence-based strategies that build resilience, confidence, and coping skills. My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals.

Using a combination of CBT and incorporating various therapeutic skills, my approach is warm, encouraging, and collaborative, with a focus on helping children and teens feel understood, supported, and comfortable being themselves. I recognize that each young person’s experiences are shaped by their strengths, interests, family, school, and community. I work to create a safe, welcoming, and organized space where youth can talk openly, build confidence, and learn practical tools for everyday challenges.

Let's take that first step together. In our first session, we'll talk through what's been hard, what you've already tried, and what matters most to you or your child right now. There's no pressure to have it all figured out, just an open, judgment-free space. From there, we'll build a plan with clear, doable steps toward the goals you care about, so you leave each session with something that actually helps.
