Lindsey Cooper

I believe everyone has the capacity to move beyond their problems. I see clients as the experts on themselves and the drivers of therapy, while I serve as the navigator, offering the map and tools to help them reach their goals.

I treat trauma and am dedicated to helping people recover. I believe no one should carry that pain forever, and I take my role in facilitating recovery very seriously. Depression, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain are other my other specializations, will guide clients in the therapeutic process to help themselves in reducing these burdens.

I use time limited (12-16 sessions), evidenced-based practices. In our first session, we will explore the concerns bringing you to therapy and then decide which approach would be most helpful. I commonly use CBT for depression, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain; CPT and EMDR therapy for trauma, and Interpersonal Therapy for depression.

Together we will discuss the concerns that bring the client into therapy and how these concerns affect their quality of life and day to day functioning. We will collaboratively clarify the client's goal for therapy, identify the specific barriers or challenges the client is facing that prevent them from meeting this goal currently, as well as objectives. Finally, we will collaboratively decide how to work through the problems by discussing various evidence based practices. My goal is for both my client and me to have clear understanding of what the client would like to accomplish, how we will do this, and how we will know when the goal is me.
