Lindsay Brine

LMSW, Therapist (Spectrum, Trauma, OCD)

Lindsay Brine (she/her) believes in a relational model of therapy where the quality of the therapist/client relationship is at the core of the work. To that end, she hopes to foster an environment where every session becomes a dedicated time for the client to work at their own pace, to be open and honest, and receive non judgmental support and care to help navigate life’s challenges and opportunities.

She has a special interest in working with the neurodivergent population supporting individuals in developing skills and strategies to deal with stressors, big and small, while also having the opportunity to increase self-knowledge, awareness and self-compassion. 

Lindsay approaches her work in an integrative way pulling from various therapy modalities to create a specialized treatment plan as every person has a unique story to tell and there is no one-size fits all model when it comes to therapeutic treatment. 

Lindsay has a degree in social work from NYU Silver School of Social Work. With a 10 year background working in education prior to becoming a therapist, including two additional Master’s degrees with a focus on human development, Lindsay has supported a wide range of people using her training in psychology, ERP, TF-CBT, ACT, and DBT. She is an affirming inclusive therapist and is passionate about providing trauma-informed care to every client. 

Autism

“The impulse to heal is real and powerful and lies within the client. Our job is to evoke that healing power… and support it in its expression and development. We are not the healers. We are the context in which healing is inspired.”
- Ron Kurtz

Trauma

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness...Trauma is about loss of connection—to ourselves, our bodies, our families, to others, and to the world around us. This disconnection is often hard to recognize because it doesn't happen all at once but rather over time.”
- Peter Levine

OCD

“A lot of people assume that having OCD means liking things organized or hating germs. It tends to be treated like a quirk or an endearing trait. But it's so much more than that. It's the one thing that prohibits me from being free of myself.” - Whitney Amazeen

ADHD

“Think of having ADHD in this way… You have a ‘Ferrari’ brain but with ‘Chevy’ brakes.”
- Jonathan Mooney
