Lindsay Bingaman (she/her)

I’ve supported individuals and communities impacted by historical and intergenerational trauma, particularly in post-conflict, migration, and colonization contexts. My approach is grounded in cultural humility, narrative practices, and trauma-informed care, honoring resilience while holding space for grief, identity, and collective healing. I strive to center lived experience and community wisdom in the therapeutic process.

I’ve worked with clients experiencing burnout across caregiving, helping professions, humanitarians, and high-stress environments. My approach blends nervous system regulation, coping skills, boundary work, values clarification, and self-compassion. I support clients in reconnecting with purpose, restoring energy, and reimagining balance—not just to function, but to feel whole. I hold space for both the personal and systemic roots of burnout.

I support women and young people in understanding and managing anxiety with compassion and curiosity. My approach includes body-based strategies, mindfulness, and building a sense of safety and self-trust. I help clients explore the roots of their anxiety—whether in relationships, identity, or life transitions—and develop tools to feel grounded, confident, and connected. I create a warm space where their full selves are welcome.

I used narrative therapy to help adolescents in wilderness therapy and refugees/asylum seekers reclaim their stories. By externalizing problems and exploring strengths, we shift focus from trauma or labels to resilience, values, and identity. Nature and metaphor support this process, allowing people to reconnect with their voice, dignity, and agency. Narrative therapy fosters healing through story, agency, and meaning-making across diverse settings.

I use CBT to support young women and adolescents, especially those experiencing anxiety. We identify unhelpful thought patterns, build coping skills, and practice new behaviors in real-life settings. I focus on self-compassion, identifying and challenging limiting beliefs, and empowerment. CBT helps clients understand how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect—building confidence, reducing distress, and supporting meaningful change.

I use a DBT-informed approach, integrating DBT tools like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. These skills support clients in managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and increasing self-awareness. I draw on DBT to help build balance between acceptance and change, especially with those navigating anxiety, identity, or life transitions.
