Getting to know Lindsey Machado

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree from New York University. I provide trauma-informed and culturally competent care for individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use recovery, low self-esteem, burnout, and life transitions. No matter where you are in your journey, I will meet you with empathy, curiosity, and genuine support. My approach In our work together, you are always in the driver’s seat. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, meaning we’ll focus on what feels most important and supportive for you. Some days that might look like exploring your thoughts and emotions, other times it might be learning new coping tools, or reviewing helpful insights through psychoeducation. My ultimate goal is that you leave each session feeling lighter, more grounded, and more hopeful. I also integrate Somatic Therapy, Internal Family Systems (Parts Work), and other supportive methods to help you process, strengthen resilience, and nurture your inner child. I strive to create an environment where you can show up exactly as you are and feel supported in the process of healing and growth. My focus I work with adults and teenagers navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use recovery, low self-esteem, burnout, and life transitions. One of my greatest joys is helping women rediscover their sparkle, the sense of self-worth and energy that can get buried under years of stress or people-pleasing. I’m especially passionate about supporting those who are exploring sobriety, are sober curious, or are in recovery, offering a compassionate space to explore what healing and alignment look like for them. As an affirming therapist and ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, I strive to provide an inclusive environment where all identities are respected. My goal is to help clients who feel stuck or disconnected reconnect with their inner light and move forward with confidence and clarity.
