Don't wait for a better time; start living now. We all try to avoid pain, whether it's failure, rejection, or other discomforts. Sometimes it's challenging to open up or face our issues, but ignoring them only makes them grow. Talking it out and being honest with yourself is the path to coping and truly living life. I'm here as your ally, ready to listen and support you on this journey. Let's tackle the tough stuff together so you can fully embrace life.

Seeking help requires courage, acknowledging that you don't have everything together or feel like you're failing. Therapy might seem daunting due to past experiences or uncertainty. But remember, you don't need all the answers; just bring your willingness to try.

The counseling journey can be challenging, but you won't be alone. Despite busy schedules, self-care is essential, and neglecting it can lead to unfavorable outcomes. Prioritize yourself, let's create a plan to address your needs, and equip you with everyday skills. I have a decade of experience, hold licenses in MA, NY, & VT, and specialize in crisis counseling and mental health.

My experience on the ground, working in very stressful, high-risk environments, and coming out alive on the other side, sets me apart as a clinician and trainer in the field.

- Want to quit your job? Chances are there's more to it. Take your lunch break and let's meet.
- Seeking to reconnect with your partner, kids, friends, dog? Let's sort through the crap weighing you down and recycle it so you can get back to what's important in your life.

You might already know all the answers. It's my job to teach you how to follow your own advice.

Lindsey Keating, LMHC | Addiction/Generational trauma

Escape from anxiety and fear can lead to unhealthy habits and escalating issues. Why wait for things to worsen when we can work together now toward your goals and peace? We're all human, and having someone who understands can make a big difference.

Learn to cope with loneliness, boost confidence, and find happiness. I've been on my own healing journey and am passionate about helping others on theirs.

Let's release built-up emotions, improve your quality of life, and build stress-management skills together. You're strong and resilient, and I'll help you see that.
