About My Clients
My clients are spiritual seekers with substance issues and/or depression/anxiety. Mindfulness and the 12 steps are well suited for recovering people. Reflective Listening, acceptance, and empathy are key ingredients of the counseling relationship. My clients experience respect and dignity as our guide to deepening the inward journey of spiritual growth. Spiritual Coaching is a supportive process encouraging the client to explore their inner world. Equanimity (even mindedness) is our goal.
My Background and Approach
Andrew “Drew” Lindsell began the recovery process in 1985. He began counseling substance abusers in 1992. In 2001 he completed a M.A. in counseling psychology. He has been treating co-occurring disorders of substance abuse and mental illness ever since. In 2005-2006, Drew completed training in Spiritual Coaching. Although mindfulness is not inherently spiritual, compassion and meditation will bring about an awakening that some people would describe as spiritual. Including a Twelve Step process can be especially helpful in promoting forward change anchored in Healing Wisdom.
