Lindsay Daskalopoulos is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker located in Rhode Island. Lindsay has extensive experience working with clients as they pass through the usual and unexpected challenges arising throughout the lifespan. Many of her clients are students or young adults who find themselves struggling emotionally after moving to a new place, exploring questions of identity and belonging, or adjusting to the rigors of academia or a new career. She works with clients who have experienced trauma or loss, feel anxious or depressed, or are adjusting to mid-life. She enjoys working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and identities, including creatives, healthcare professionals and meditators. Her clients seek therapy to regain a sense of meaning, rekindle creativity, and explore their true nature.
Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practices inform Lindsay’s approach to therapy. Clients are encouraged to turn their attention inwards through grounding exercises, body scans, and a variety mindfulness practices. Mindfulness can support awareness of present physical and emotional reactions, nurturing-and sometimes discovering-one's natural capacity for compassionate response toward oneself and others. Through the practice of self-compassion, self-critical and judgmental habits of mind are often softened and transformed. As a psychodynamic therapist, she fosters a trusting relationship with clients to explore and heal relationship patterns and underlying beliefs. She views healing as a holistic process, nourishing mind, body, and spirit.
Lindsay has over 25 years of experience working in the mental health field. She completed two postgraduate training programs in young adult mental health, one at the McCosh Health Center at Princeton University and the other at Harvard University Mental Health Center. She offers clients a safe, non-judgmental space to navigate life's many complexities, deepen curiosity, and reflect on questions of meaning and purpose.
