Lindsay Wynne
RCC

Lindsay specializes in working with adult individuals, especially LGBTQIA+ folks who lead busy and often stressful lives and feel committed to improving their mental health. Lindsay aims to create a genuine and meaningful connection with her clients. She works to honour your journey at every stage and build a safe space where you can reconnect with yourself. This can be challenging due to societal, familial, and workplace pressures that dictate who we feel we need to be and how we think we "should" live. We learn to suppress parts of ourselves for our emotional, spiritual, and physical safety, but these solutions may no longer serve us as we grow. If you are looking to understand these patterns and reconnect with neglected, silenced and under-appreciated parts of yourself, you're in the right place. Let Lindsay join your support team.
