Getting to know Dr. Lindsey Poe

Dr. Lindsey Poe is a Licensed Psychologist originally from the Blue Ridge Mountains in rural Appalachia. Witnessing the impact of poverty, generational trauma, and substance use in her community influenced her desire to pursue a career in clinical psychology. Her hometown – like much of rural Appalachia – was the target of pharmaceutical companies and opioid distribution in the 90s, better known as the opioid epidemic today. After she was afforded the opportunity to focus her clinical and research studies on substance use, trauma, and serious mental illness, Dr. Poe discovered a newfound passion for helping clients conceptualize the systemic factors (e.g., being targeted by corporations, community violence, poverty) that contributed to their symptoms to ultimately release them from internalized guilt and shame. Given her upbringing in a close-knit town, Dr. Poe also values relationships and community above all else and prioritizes authenticity, humor, and warmth in the therapy room. If choosing to work with Dr. Poe, clients can expect to receive a safe and affirming therapeutic space to explore the balance of unconditional compassion for current distress paired with ambitions for change. Dr. Poe’s approach to treatment is broadly trauma informed, and she approaches clinical work with the understanding that each client she sees may have experienced trauma(s), which can come in many forms. Dr. Poe will spend a portion of initial sessions taking time to understand each client’s contextual factors, including symptoms, developmental factors, cultural influences, learning styles, strengths, values, and personal preferences. With this information, she will tailor interventions for each individual client and collaboratively work with them to discover what might fit best. Ultimately, Dr. Poe hopes to inspire a sense of self-reflection in her clients that fosters curiosity over judgment, and compassion over criticism.

What should a new client know about working with you?

A new client should know that working with me means being met with warmth, authenticity, and deep respect for your lived experience. I strive to create a safe, affirming space where you can explore what you’re going through without fear of judgment or blame. Many people carry shame or guilt for struggles that are deeply influenced by systemic and environmental factors, and part of our work together may involve understanding those broader contexts so you can release self-criticism and view your experiences with greater compassion. I value genuine connection in the therapy room and believe that healing happens within relationships. You can expect a balance of unconditional compassion for where you are right now, paired with thoughtful support as you work toward meaningful change. Humor, honesty, and humanity are welcome here, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in trust and mutual respect.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My process is trauma-informed, individualized, and collaborative. In our early sessions, I take time to understand the full context of your life, including your symptoms, personal history, cultural and community influences, strengths, values, and learning preferences. I approach every client with the understanding that trauma can take many forms and that its impact is often shaped by larger systemic forces. Using this foundation, we work together to identify patterns, goals, and areas for growth, and I tailor interventions to fit what works best for you. Throughout therapy, I aim to foster self-reflection and curiosity—helping you move from judgment to understanding, and from self-criticism to compassion. The goal is to support healing that feels empowering, grounded, and aligned with who you are and the life you want to build.
