Lindsay Abbott, LCMHCA

Life’s journey can be challenging, and there are times when we all need extra support and encouragement. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward healing and growth.

My passion for helping others began early, assisting in my mom’s in-home daycare and discovering the joy of caring for and supporting children. Over the past 17 years, I’ve worked at Duke University in a variety of roles, where I’ve had the privilege of connecting with people from many different backgrounds and life experiences. These experiences strengthened my ability to listen with empathy, build trust, and meet people where they are.

I believe every client’s journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs. Together, we’ll work toward your personal goals—whether they involve emotional, relational, social, or spiritual growth. For clients who desire it, I’m happy to incorporate faith and spirituality into the counseling process.

I work with teens (16+) and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, eating disorders, family conflict, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, OCD, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, trauma, and PTSD.

Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my two children. I also love cooking, baking, crafting, and puzzles, which help me stay grounded and recharged.

Taking the first step toward counseling takes courage, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and hope.
