Brinker Counseling and Consultation, PLLC

About Lindsey I offer therapy for adults and couples, including intensive session format for EMDR or couples, EMDR consultations as a CIT, and clinical supervision to students or tLMHC. I use a blend of proven therapy methods to meet each person’s unique needs. My training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Ego State Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is my favorite—no matter how many times I use it, it still feels like magic. I believe in the strength and potential of every person. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where people can feel comfortable being themselves. I’m a casual therapist—often barefoot and cross-legged–I don’t have all the answers, but I’m here to help you figure them out. I’m also a bit of a nerd when it comes to research and reading, so I can combine the art and science of therapy to help clients grow and thrive. With optimism, humor, and kindness, I aim to build real connections and guide people on their healing journeys. Lindsey Brinker is currently the site supervisor for Becca Hansen and Dana Ferris About Becca: I am currently serving as an intern while pursuing a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand View University. My therapeutic approach integrates person-centered therapy, Internal Family Systems, and somatic awareness, bridging the connection between body and mind. Drawing from my background in client-focused, relationship-building business and a Bachelor of Science in Health and Wellness, I adopt a holistic approach to well-being. I work with individuals 16 years+ facing anxiety, depression, and trauma, creating a safe and nurturing environment for healing. I am especially passionate about empowering women through life transitions, helping them uncover their authentic selves and confidently affirm their own voices. Together, we cultivate a deeper inner awareness that fosters lasting healing and personal growth. About Dana: I am a counseling student intern currently working on my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand View University. My theoretical approach to therapy combines neuroscience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to find the interventions that best fit each person’s needs. My style of direct communication tempered with humor allows me to compassionately challenge clients without being confrontational to prevent stagnation in the counseling relationship. I enjoy helping people make the connections that will move them in the direction that they want to grow. I work with individuals 21 and over and specialize in boundary setting, difficult in-law relationships, perfectionism, and anxiety. My counseling passion is teaching people how to be kinder to themselves and how to accept themselves for their inherent value as human beings.
