Ms Lindsay Simon

Psychotherapist

“Clinical Director and Owner of A Balanced Life, specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and EFT Therapy.”

About Me

I help individuals discover their unique path towards a more balanced life. My integrative approach means we can explore what works best for you. Using techniques like Solution Focused Therapy, we'll build practical strategies to navigate challenges. This collaborative space is ideal if you're seeking clear steps and lasting well-being. I aim to help you feel grounded and ready for change.

Approach

I translate CBT, solution-focused ideas and gentle EFT techniques into doable, real-life experiments that fit your pace and priorities. In my South Lake Tahoe office, sessions move between focused problem-solving, emotional processing and short mindfulness practices, with simple between-session tasks to test what helps. We track small changes, adjust strategies together, and reflect on patterns to keep progress steady. This action-oriented, collaborative rhythm often suits people facing life transitions, parenting shifts, anxiety or burnout.
