Office Information
For in-person sessions, Lindsay is located at The Space Within – 35 Market Place, Stratford. The Space Within is on the 2nd floor of a historic building and unfortunately, there is no elevator access. If it's your first time coming to The Space Within, look for the orange door to the left of the Revel coffee shop. Come up the stairs to the waiting room, and Lindsay will meet you there.

I wish to acknowledge that the land in which I live and practice is the traditional territory of the Anishnabek, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), Ojibway/Chippewa peoples. As a settler, I am grateful for the opportunity to exist on this land and thank all the generations of people who have cared for it. As a White settler of European descent, the recognition of the contributions and historic importance of Indigenous peoples cannot exist without a commitment to make Truth and Reconciliation real in our community, and bring justice for murdered and missing indigenous women and girls across our country.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Session rates are $135 for a 50 minute session.
Receipts are provided upon payment for those submitting to benefits. Payment can be made via credit card or e-transfer. I do not offer a sliding scale.
-
I am a registered social worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. I hold a Masters Degree in Social Work and I also have specialized training in Perinatal Mental Health completed through Postpartum Support International (PMH-C). My services are covered by many benefit plans - I encourage you to call your provider and confirm your coverage prior to initiating sessions.
-
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling options. Some people like the convenience of being able to hop into a virtual session from the comfort of their home - especially if they are freshly postpartum. Others prefer to meet in person as they feel it is a good way to get out of the house and value the connection of meeting in person. Babies are always welcome!
-
This depends on the person and your individual needs. Some people plan the frequency of their sessions around benefit coverage while others may prefer to be seen weekly, biweekly or monthly. We can decide on this together in our initial appointment or plan sessions to the frequency you think will suit you best.
