Lindsey Novakowski MA, CCC

Hi there! I’m a counsellor working with adults, youth, and couples experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress/burnout, identity exploration, and life transitions. 

My background in education, crisis response, and supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence has deeply shaped how I show up as a therapist. I’m attuned to the varying needs and abilities of my clients, and I don’t shy away from the difficult things like grief, shame, trauma, or those deep wounds that feel too heavy to carry alone. I offer a grounded, compassionate approach, and I believe that healing is possible, even when it feels far away.

My work focuses on supporting those impacted by trauma, as well as those navigating the pressures of mountain life and the experience of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world. My goal is to offer a supportive space where these unique struggles are understood, and clients are provided with more tools help navigate them. I bring a trauma-informed approach rooted in my crisis work background, supporting clients in healing with safety and understanding. Passionate about the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and diverse populations, I strive to create an inclusive space where clients feel valued, heard, and empowered.

My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, blending both mind- and body-based strategies. I draw on an integrative blend of techniques to help you explore and process your experiences and yourself, while also helping to regulate the nervous system. Together, we’ll work towards fostering lasting, meaningful change.
