Therapy
Real, Specialized, and Rooted in Connection
Therapy with Lindsey Cavin
Hi, I’m Lindsey—a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Oregon, offering remote therapy for children, teens and adults. I bring over a decade of experience and a deeply human approach to this work. Therapy with me is authentic, collaborative, and anything but cookie-cutter—I believe in real conversations, genuine connection, and creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can be fully yourself.
I specialize in working with Neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, Autism, Learning Differences), as well as those navigating Anxiety, Depression, Substance Use, Addiction, and LGBTQ+ identity exploration. As a queer, neurodivergent-affirming therapist, I bring both clinical knowledge and lived experience to support you with nuance, care, and humor. Whether you’re working through big transitions or small daily struggles, I’m here to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
Neurodivergent Affirming Therapy
As a neurodivergent-affirming therapist, I honor the unique strengths, experiences, and challenges that come with ADHD, Autism, learning differences, and other forms of neurodivergence. Whether you’ve had a lifelong diagnosis, are newly exploring your identity, or are somewhere in between, therapy with me is about understanding your brain, not fixing it.
We’ll work together to navigate executive functioning struggles, sensory overwhelm, masking fatigue, self-advocacy, social dynamics, and more—through an approach that is collaborative, validating, and tailored to how you operate best. I aim to create a space where you can unmask, feel seen, and move toward greater self-acceptance and empowerment, on your terms.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
As a queer therapist and member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know how powerful it can be to feel truly seen and understood in a therapeutic space. My work is rooted in affirmation, advocacy, and deep respect for your identity and lived experience.
Whether you’re exploring gender, sexuality, relationships, or simply want a space where you don’t have to explain the basics of who you are, I’m here to meet you with care, nuance, and zero judgment. Together, we can work through challenges related to coming out, navigating family dynamics, internalized stigma, identity exploration, or the day-to-day stress of living in a world that isn’t always affirming.
This is a space where your full, authentic self is not just welcome—it's celebrated.
Substance Use & Addiction Lens
I work with people navigating substance use and addiction, as well as those impacted by a loved one’s use. Whether you’re in recovery, questioning your relationship with substances, or supporting someone who’s struggling, I offer a nonjudgmental space grounded in harm reduction and trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and create a path forward that feels sustainable and meaningful.
What Our Work Together Looks Like
Let's Get Personal
Gone are the days of therapists as blank slates who only nod and ask, “How does that make you feel?” My approach to therapy is authentic, raw, and real. I show up as a human first—genuine, compassionate, and fully present. I believe healing happens in relationships that feel safe, honest, and deeply connected, not clinical or detached. You deserve a space where you can bring your full self, and I’m committed to building that space with you—one that’s grounded in trust, humor, and real talk.
Rooted in Your Goals, Guided by What Works
We’ll start by meeting you exactly where you are—no pressure to have it all figured out. From there, we’ll work together to clarify what you want to shift, strengthen, or understand, and set realistic goals that feel meaningful to you. I draw from Solution-Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness practices to help you build insight, develop practical tools, and take action in a way that feels manageable and empowering. Therapy with me is both reflective and forward-moving—we’ll hold space for what’s hard while staying connected to your growth.
Therapy As Unique As You Are
Every person who comes to therapy brings their own story, strengths, and needs—and that means every therapy journey will look a little different. Instead of following a rigid formula, I center your individuality and what actually works for you. Together, we’ll create a path that’s specific to you—your goals, your pace, your identity, and how you naturally process and grow. Therapy with me is personalized, collaborative, and responsive to who you are in each session.
