About Me

“If you can turn and face the clouds with someone you trust, you don’t have to keep running.” Chandra Gosh Ippen, Ph.D.

​

Hello! My name is Lindsey Rikalo. As humans, we are hard-wired for connection with others, but for most of us, connecting can feel scary and unsafe. My goal as your clinician is to provide a safe, trusting environment in which you can explore areas where you feel stuck. I approach therapy with kindness and curiosity, working to help you develop a healthy mindset, adopt a balanced lifestyle, and gain confidence and agency in your life.

​

I understand the challenges of overcoming anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, perfectionism, and feelings of overwhelm. I approach these challenges through the lens of attachment, aiming to provide comprehensive and personalized care. I utilize elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through EMDRIA. I enjoy conducting walk-and-talk therapy and can incorporate Christian, faith-based elements for those who are inclined.

​

I consider it a privilege to partner with you in your journey toward emotional healing and growth!
