I’m Lindsay MacMaster PsyD, a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the San Diego area. When you work with me, I create a setting that is warm and compassionate, a space that allows you to best connect with what is bothering you. Counseling helps you learn how to become your best self. Therapy can support you as you lean into life’s most difficult challenges rather than shy away from them.
With a specialty in play therapy for children, individual therapy, family therapy, and connective parenting approaches, I make sure your counseling session is grounded in scientific research but is still tailored to your needs and goals. I aim to work with clients weekly so when an appt spot is open consider if that's what you're looking for also and that can be your dedicated time for you in your week.
My strengths are helping clients build coping skills, awareness and confidence through their therapy so they feel more able to take on the challenges in their life moving forward. I find that when children have a supportive space to explore their emotions they are able to take the lead in problem-solving and experience positive self-esteem. When working with adults we focus often on awareness and healthy coping skills so they become better able to approach parenting challenges, life stressors and have successful relationships.
