Professional statement

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 the unexpected challenges that arise 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, loss, feel anxious or depressed, or are adjusting to mid-life. She enjoys working with people from a wide range of backgrounds and identities, artists, healthcare professionals and meditators. Her clients seek therapy to regain a sense of meaning, rekindle their creativity, and explore their true selves.

Buddhist psychology and mindfulness practices inform Lindsay’s approach to therapy. Clients learn how to turn their attention inwards through grounding exercises, body scans, and mindfulness practices. This can lead to insight about physical and emotional reactions to situations in the present and to a greater capacity to respond compassionately to oneself and others. She encourages clients to practice self-compassion, helping to shift self-critical and judgmental habits of mind. Lindsay is a psychodynamic therapist, relying on a trusting relationship with her clients to encourage them to examine their relationship patterns and beliefs. She sees healing holistically, healing 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 address questions of meaning, purpose and identity, and navigate life's many complexities.


Message to clients

Though it can be challenging to see the opportunity for healing and change in the midst of a difficult or painful time, seeking help is a step toward creating new possibilities for yourself. I am committed to fostering a strong relationship with you, providing an open and welcoming space to explore your concerns, cultivate resilience, and discover solutions together. Through the process of self discovery many find greater equanimity, purpose, compassion and an expanded capacity for joy and love.
