Lindsay French
Registered Psychotherapist (Q) · Master's (Yorkville University, 2024)
Member of College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO)
Psychotherapy Provider (Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying))
Lindsay French is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Lindsay combines deep personal reflection with humour in her therapy sessions. Lindsay’s experience as a youth mentor, and counsellor led her to work full-time in the mental health profession.
As a queer, and neurodivergent individual, she understands how it can feel to be an outsider. This is why she provides therapy where a client feels connected, safe, and affirmed by their counsellor.
Lindsay shows up collaboratively in her sessions to help her clients achieve their goals. She understands the unique challenges her clients face and uses evidence-based techniques to encourage their growth.
Lindsay’s approach to treating ADHD is to ensure her clients understand the unique workings of their neurotypical brain. This means adapting and customizing interventions to fit the uniqueness of each client. She believes in the importance of building self-compassion, so her clients have a balanced approach to their emotions.
In Lindsay’s work she utilizes mindfulness and somatic based interventions to build her client’s mind/body connection. In her work with anxious and depressed individuals she finds a strong connection to the body brings the most healing. She encourages clients to get curious about how feelings arise in their body and uses techniques to strengthen this connection.
With the 2SLGBTQIA+ community Lindsay uses a narrative approach to realign a client’s experience to their gender and sexuality. Together she collaborates with her clients to align their identity with their authentic self. She does this through strengthening her client’s resilience and self-esteem. She knows how hard it is to navigate sexuality in a heteronormative culture and brings this understanding to her therapy work.
Lindsay’s core value of authenticity shines through her work with clients. She is not just a therapist, but an advocate for individuals who don’t fit a heteronormative role. She is passionate in her pursuit of wellness, and knows that even as a clinician, she must remain open to the uniqueness of all human experiences.
