Hi, I’m Lyndsay!
Welcome! I am passionate about supporting children, teens, young adults, and families in Houston, Texas, as they navigate mental health challenges and life transitions. My background as an elementary school teacher gave me firsthand insight into how encouragement helps children build friendships, discover their unique strengths, and grow in confidence. This inspired me to pursue a career in counseling, where I can provide more comprehensive support through child therapy and family therapy.
I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, emotional difficulties, struggles with friendships, family transitions, and other parenting concerns. Using play therapy, I help children express their feelings and develop coping skills when words are hard to find. This approach fosters resilience, confidence, and healthier relationships.
Parents and caregivers are key partners in therapy. I collaborate closely with families through parent counseling to improve communication, strengthen connections, and promote overall well-being at home. My counseling is a collaborative process focused on healing, growth, and helping the whole family thrive.
Currently, I am completing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with an expected graduation in June 2026, and provide counseling services under the supervision of Brittani Persha, LCSW-S, RPT-S. As a mother of two and a graduate-level counseling intern, I bring both professional training and personal experience with the joys and challenges of parenting. Outside of counseling, I enjoy running, cooking, and reading. I am committed to lifelong learning—through my studies, trainings, and the wisdom shared by the families I serve. It is an honor to support children, teens, young adults, and parents as they build skills, identify strengths, and move toward a brighter future.
