Lindsay Day (she/her)

My Background and Approach

I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology (2015) and I hold a Master's degree in Marriage, Couple, and Family counseling (2020), both from Portland State University. I have completed trainings that include risk assessment and mandated reporting, implicit bias, a 40-hour Domestic Violence training, and an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Circle Course training (2023). I have a passion for body positivity and body neutrality to combat the negative and detrimental affects of diet culture. I have knowledge , passion, and experience working with survivors of domestic violence and understand the complex nuances to that experience. As a neurodivergent clinician, I have knowledge and personal experience of ADHD and work as an ADHD teen coach as well.

My Values as a Therapist

I personally strive to be a lifelong learner and continue to grow my cultural competence as a counselor so that I may be better informed of the diverse clientele and their experiences that I hope to see and work with. As someone who holds several privileged identities, I will continue to be aware of and acknowledge the privileges that come with having those identities and how it will impact my work and future clients moving forward. I also believe strongly that mental health services and counseling should be accessible to all. I will use my privilege and position to advocate for accessibility for all in the need of mental health services and support. I also believe the relationship between client and counselor is the greatest change agent, so I focus and work to build trust and foster comfort for my client throughout the process. I strive to create a safe and comfortable place for my clients and my intentional use of humor adds to that.
