Counseling

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially since every practice has its own process. At Brinker Counseling, you can do everything online, read Lindsey’s bio, check insurance coverage, and schedule an appointment.

If you’re on the fence about therapy, the lowest-commitment option is to schedule a free initial consultation. This can be a video or in-person meeting to check the vibes and ask questions. Then you and Lindsey can then decide together how (or if) to move forward.

Once you book your first appointment, Lindsey will send you an invite to download the portal app. It’s free, easy to use, and lets you manage payments, scheduling, and telehealth links if you prefer virtual sessions.

Before your first session, you’ll review and e-sign a few documents. Lindsey will also send some forms to fill out, so just share what you’re comfortable with.

That’s it! No pressure, just options to start at your own pace.
