Lindsey Reis (she/her) is a queer-identified Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate practicing in North Carolina. She holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Substance Use from East Carolina University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UNC Wilmington, with a minor in Neuroscience. Lindsey brings six years of experience supporting LGBTQ+ individuals across a wide range of clinical settings, including substance use recovery programs, inpatient and residential treatment for teens, correctional facilities, group homes, and community mental health. These experiences have shaped her understanding of the full continuum of care and allow her to provide support that is both systems-aware and deeply individualized. 

​

Lindsey recognizes that starting therapy can be a courageous (and sometimes scary) first step. You may feel unsure of what to expect, carry fear or shame about reaching out, or feel uncertain about what you need. That’s okay. Lindsey’s hope is that her office can be a soft landing into these unknowns: a space grounded in safety, curiosity, and creativity, where you can feel heard, respected, and supported.

​

Her therapeutic approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in humility. Lindsey views clients as the experts of their own experiences and approaches each person with empathy and curiosity. Lindsey believes healing is rarely linear, often unfolding in twists, turns, and moments of uncertainty, and that therapy should reflect this. Therapy becomes a flexible and collaborative process where sessions are shaped to meet you, session by session, reflecting wherever you are on the journey. Whether that's through reflection, emotional processing, skill building, or moving toward meaningful, values-aligned change, Lindsey is here to be a compassionate and steady guide. Lindsey integrates parts work (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical and Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and expressive arts approaches depending on your unique needs with each step in the journey.  

​

Lindsey is passionate about supporting individuals ages 14 and up in the LGBTQ+ community, and has expertise supporting clients through substance use and recovery, trauma, life transitions, anxiety, and mood disorders. You are welcome and accepted here exactly as you are, no matter where in your healing journey you are. Lindsey looks forward to connecting with you.
