Hi, I’m Lyndsey!

I am passionate about supporting individuals who are ready to find their authentic selves through therapy. You deserve to be yourself; bravely, unapologetically, and truly.

I am the owner of Authentic Reclaimed LLC. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) located in Massachusetts. I am also a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey and an LICSW in Rhode Island. I specialize in working with young adults and adults who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD as well as those who are looking to grow their communication skills, boundaries and improve their self confidence.

My approach

I firmly believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, always keeping in mind your future goals. Creating a non-judgmental and open-minded space is crucial to establishing a strong therapeutic relationship. I am dedicated to being compassionate, empathetic, and a good listener, while also upholding honesty and transparency. There may be occasions when I challenge you or hold you accountable, as necessary, to facilitate progress or align with your goals. However, I am committed to making you feel comfortable and ensuring that your therapy experience is one where you can openly discuss your life concerns and treatment-related issues. Your input is essential in the planning process, as I believe that your needs should be at the forefront. If there comes a point where my interventions are not helpful to you, I welcome and value your feedback. Together, we can explore alternative approaches that may better suit your needs. While I certainly don't have all the answers, I genuinely believe that progress is possible when we collaborate and work towards your goals.

My journey

My social work journey started in high school, where I worked closely with an adjustment counselor who was a huge support and reason why I am here today. I went on to get my bachelors of social work in 2011 with an end goal of working as an adjustment counselor myself, and one day opening my own private practice. During the next decade, I worked at the Department of Children and Families as an adolescent social worker and outreach worker. I went on to earn my masters of social work from Boston University in 2017 which allowed me to work as a crisis clinician. I have always had a deep passion for working with adolescents, but here grew my passion for working with young adults entering adulthood and adults struggling with mental health and life stressors.

I eventually decided it was time to move on to my next dream, to work in schools. For the next two years I worked as an adjustment counselor with the elementary and high school population. Working with young children sparked something in me, I wanted to be me, in every aspect of my life- I wanted to have fun at work, embrace my passions and be unapologetically me.

In 2021, I opened a part time private practice, and slowly found my joy shifting from running around school buildings, to building meaningful connections in therapy sessions. In 2023, I opened Authentic Reclaimed LLC, full time and went beyond my comfort zone in SO MANY ways. Not only do I want to be a therapist, I have such a drive to help everyone-to pursue their goals and be genuinely happy. In addition to providing clinical therapy, I began offering workshops and consulting sessions for social workers wanting to go on their own. I was lucky to have cheerleaders on my journey, and I want to be yours.

more about me…

When I’m not meeting with clients, I am usually curled up on the couch reading a book with my pets. I have four wonderful and wild animals, two dogs, Nezuko and Vanna, and two cats, Bella and Sprinkles. I love cozy blankets, a hot cup of tea and being an okay-ish plant mom. I love emo, pop punk and hardcore music- music has been a part of my own healing journey and I enjoy attending concerts and going on road trips to music events with my friends. The older I get, the more I embrace who I am and show it to the world- we belong here.
