Lindsay

Ms Lindsay Bingaman, MSW

Licensed Social Worker

As a trained social worker, I use a holistic, systems-based approach—meeting you exactly where you are and honoring your unique story and needs. While I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities (see below), I prioritize a trauma-informed lens and often integrate mind-body connection and nature-based practices when they feel supportive and relevant to you.

About Me

I support deep-feeling humans—often women, humanitarians, refugees, and sensitive souls—navigating anxiety, burnout, transitions, or the lingering impact of trauma. If you’re ready to feel more grounded and reconnect with your authentic self, you don’t have to do it alone. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can feel seen and supported. Together, we’ll use somatic and holistic approaches to help you move from surviving to living with more balance, clarity, and meaning.

Approach

I know how heavy anxiety, self-doubt, or big life changes can feel, and you don’t have to go through it alone. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can work together to ease the overwhelm, untangle what’s keeping you stuck, and help you feel more grounded and at peace. Ready to begin? Let's take the first step together.
