The first session is focused on getting to know you—your background, current concerns, and what brought you to therapy. We’ll explore your goals, answer any questions, and begin building a foundation of trust. Think of it as a collaborative starting point, not a test or an interview.

Most clients begin with weekly sessions to establish consistency, build rapport, and establish goals for therapy. Over time, we may adjust the frequency based on your needs, goals, and progress. This is something we decide together.

I provide in-person therapy in Santa Monica and work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples from nearby communities including Venice, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and West Los Angeles.

I also provide Virtual therapy in California.

You may reschedule or cancel a session at no charge if done more than 48 hours in advance of your scheduled session time. If you do not attend your scheduled appointment, you will be responsible for the full session fee. A 15 minute grace period is provided for all appointments. If you fail to attend within 10 minutes of the session start time, the session will be automatically rescheduled, and you will be charged the full fee.

All sessions with Lyndsay, including individual, family, couples, and EMDR therapy are at set fee of $200.

I am an out-of-network provider and do not participate with any insurance plans or panels. any insurance carriers and PPO plans, however, offer reimbursement for out-of-network mental health services. If your plan includes these benefits, I can provide a monthly superbill or summary of services for you to submit directly to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Please note that I do not bill insurance or communicate with insurance providers on your behalf. To determine your eligibility for out-of-network reimbursement, I recommend contacting your insurance provider directly prior to beginning services.

Yes. I am currently accepting new clients for virtual therapy in California and in-person therapy in Santa Monica.
