Lindsey Ehrhardt

I’m Lindsey, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York with a master’s degree in mental health counseling from Long Island University. I work with adults who are navigating life transitions, anxiety, and stress, including former college athletes adjusting to life after sport.

I’m a former Division I lacrosse player, so I understand how much of your identity, routine, and community can be tied to a team, and how disorienting it can feel when that structure disappears. That experience shapes how I work with athletes, and it also informs how I support anyone going through a big change, like a new job, a breakup, a move, or a career shift.

You don’t have to have it all figured out here. This is a space to slow down, say what’s weighing on you, and find steadier ground.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. I draw mainly from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness, along with CBT and relational and psychodynamic work when it fits, to help you understand your thoughts, emotions, and patterns, and to build skills you can use in daily life.

Our work is active. We’ll look at what’s keeping you stuck, get clear on what matters to you now, and try out new tools between sessions. You’ll leave sessions feeling heard, with something concrete to work on.

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask about your background, what you’ve been experiencing, and what you hope will change. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with.

Together, we’ll start identifying goals and practical next steps. By the end, my aim is for you to feel some relief, more clarity, and the sense that you don’t have to carry this alone.
