I’m glad you’re here.

Lindsay Sommerauer, MA in Counselling Psychology

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Reaching out is an important part of wellness and healing. Whether you’re facing a major transition, hoping to improve longstanding challenges, or desire an internal shift for your present and future, I’m here with wholehearted support for your change journey.

What’s it like to work with me?

I see therapy as a collaborative experiment undertaken with calm, compassionate care. I want to meet you where you are, helping you discover and enhance the inner strengths you already hold on your chosen path. 

I take a person-centered, integrative approach to therapy, which means we'll use methods that feel like a fit for you. Would you like to get to know your inner self? Do you need the chance to be in the driver’s seat of your own life? Do you crave space for quiet and attending to your body? Do you want freedom from the thoughts, feelings, and stories that keep you stuck and hurting? Do you need a mix of things? I'm always curious about what feels best for you. I follow your cues and respect the vision you have for your life and experience.

Why do my clients come to therapy?

Many of my clients want to foster more acceptance, authenticity, commitment, compassion, enjoyment, and presence in their lives and I love supporting them in this work. My clients come to our work as a protected space to find openings for their own agency, and to discover new ways of feeling/being, with themselves and with others.

What challenges do I help with?

  • General challenges like anxiety, emotional regulation, indecision, stress coping, self-esteem/self-acceptance

  • Identity challenges related to gender expression, sexuality, relationship orientation, spiritual/religious alignment, and coming out to/letting in others about who we truly are

  • Relationship difficulties in communication, processing past hurts, and emotional/physical/sexual connection

  • Feeling stuck in relationship, including challenges in opening from monogamy or navigating ENM/polyamory

  • Bigger life transitions that cause overwhelm, self-questioning, and stress

 

I have immediate availability for new individual or couples/relationship clients. I always begin with a free, 15-minute consultation, which gives me a chance to learn about what brings you to counselling, and for you to ask any questions you have so we can determine if working together will feel like the right fit.
