I’ve been working with Lindsay for several months now dealing with a traumatic event in my life and she has been incredibly supportive in helping me through it. She is kind and listens to me and offers support and suggestions on how I can move forward without pushing me to take steps that I’m not yet ready to take, which is important in helping me build trust with her! We have also started some EMDR Therapy, which has brought up some emotional traumas from my childhood that we are working on releasing. I am feeling very hopeful as I am starting to see a path through something that I could not see any way through before I started my sessions with Lindsay.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I’ve just had to switch therapists as my previous therapist suddenly became unavailable. As an anxious person, Lindsay validated that it was difficult to switch therapists mid-treatment and she has made it a very comfortable transition. I feel like I’ve connected well with her. She validates my feelings and my experiences while gently encouraging me to see the reality of the situation before me, which has been difficult for me. She doesn’t push me but she is encouraging. I’m feeling very good about how things are progressing with Lindsay!

She is the first therapist to fully listen to me and actually help. Her sessions continue to help me through extremely hard times.

Lindsay is a wonderful therapist. She listens very well, is incredibly insightful, and understands very quickly the heart of issues. It is very easy to talk with Lindsay. I am a person who does not open up easily, and who has trust issues. However, I have been very comfortable opening up to Lindsay, and I trust her implicitly. In addition to being a wonderful therapist, Lindsay is an amazing person - kind, caring, and with such a calm demeanor.

Reviewed June 2021

I've been working with Lindsay for almost a year, and it's the longest I've ever been with a counsellor. She's so easy to talk to and very nonjudgmental, and she is easy to build a trusting relationship with. She also has a variety of tools and approaches to see what works best for you. I was in a pretty bad state when I began counselling, and my mental health has improved even beyond where it was before I had a "breakdown"! The single issue is that for me scheduling appointments is difficult because I am on the other side of the world, but Lindsay is very accommodating with scheduling issues.

Reviewed June 2021

I can't say enough good things about Lindsay. She's been so attentive, caring, patient and wonderful all around. She does guided meditation sessions with me, which has done wonders for my anxiety and healing past traumas (I have plenty of those). She's helped me brainstorm in a very non-judgemental way, providing me with a safe space to share all of my thoughts. Because of the depth of my issues I will likely keep doing therapy sessions for awhile. This is not a "quick fix" for me and I don't look for some sort of an "a-ha" moment that would solve everything at once.. I just want someone to be there who listens and cares, while also being competent and qualified in providing feedback. These qualities are not easy to find in counselors and I had to change a few before I finally found Lindsay. I'm very happy with my choice and grateful for her.

Reviewed May 2021

I've been working with Lindsay for a few months now and she is so incredibly helpful. I couldn't imagine where I would have been without her. She is so supportive and so understanding. Knowing she's there whenever I need is incredibly comforting. I will continue to see her for a while yet!

I have been working with Lindsay for several months now, and I can only sing her praises. She always reminds me that I can reach out to her between sessions, no matter how many times I forget that I have that option. She is the first person, therapist or otherwise, who has made me feel safe and supported enough to open up about things that took me over 20 years to even think about. She's given me so many valuable tools that help me live my life, rather than feeling dragged along by it. She's helped me gain control over my thoughts. She creates an incredibly safe space, always smiles and actively listens, and she is the reason I haven't lost my motivation to keep working on myself. I can't thank her enough.

Lindsay is a very caring individual and I was blown away when I came to her seeking help and she immediately put time aside to speak to me on the same day. I mean, she truly saved me that day and I really appreciate her. The 30mins sessions I feel are a little too short. By the time I managed to get everything out of what I've had to go through, there isn't much I can get back outside of having someone to listen and give me reassurance that my feelings are okay. She did offer some great advice on what I could do, I think I'm just wanting more possibilities. More exercises that could help, trigger managing, or things that I could try to do at home to overcome the stress of certain situations. She's incredible and I think because of that it gives me hope so it makes me want to take in more from her. We've only had a few sessions but I believe that she can help me and build up a strong relationship. Thank you Lindsay :)
