Lindsey Crilly

Lindsey is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA License #A20671) in North Carolina as well as a National Certified Counselor (NCC Certification #1735054). She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology in 2020 followed by a Master of Arts in Counseling in 2024. 

At the heart of Lindsey’s work is a deep belief in the inherent worth, dignity, and potential of every person. She approaches therapy with the understanding that healing begins in spaces where people are truly seen, heard, and valued. Her practice is rooted in a person-centered philosophy that honors each individual's unique story, inner wisdom, and capacity for growth. Guided by principles of trauma-informed care, cultural humility, and social justice, she acknowledges the complex intersections of identity, culture, and systemic factors in mental health. 

Lindsey’s areas of focus include trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, religious trauma/church hurt, women’s issues, self-esteem, body image, identity, life transitions, and relational conflict. She tailors her therapeutic approach to each client’s unique needs and goals, integrating elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), art, and creativity when supportive to the healing process. When working with children, Lindsey uses a Child-centered Play Therapy (CCPT) approach, creating a safe and supportive space where children can express themselves through play—their natural language. She trusts in each child’s inner ability to grow and heal, and honors their pace, choices, and unique ways of making sense of the world.

Outside of the counseling room, Lindsey enjoys spending time with her spouse and two cats, playing board games, reading a good book, doing something crafty, or grabbing a cup of coffee with her friends.
