Meet Lindsey

Lindsey Anuzis Gage (she/her), MA, LCMHC, NCC | Therapist

We’re a good fit if... You’re a person trying to manage it all; Stress, relationships, health, school/work, while also trying to figure out where you fit into this world. You likely find yourself struggling in your relationship with food, body image, and/or self-worth, and are interested in improving your relationships, communication skills, and overall outlook on life.

My ideal client is... Someone who is exhausted both physically and mentally from trying to measure up to/keep up with everyone else, feeling like they are never enough. A person who is afraid to take up space or ask for help for fear of being a burden. A person who experiences so much stress and anxiety, and never talks about it, until it begins to show up in other ways. Someone who is ready and willing to make changes to figure out how they can better show up for themselves. While the majority of my clinical work focuses on disordered eating and body image concerns, I am also passionate about supporting teens, college aged and adult women as they navigate through stress, anxiety, relationship dynamics, family of origin issues, depression, chronic health/pain challenges, and life transitions.

I create safety and build rapport by... Showing up as my authentic self, utilizing relational, and relatable approaches to therapy with a dash of humor when appropriate to help my clients feel more comfortable in sharing their stories. I foster open lines of communication and welcome feedback from clients throughout our work together. You are the expert on you, and I want to help empower you towards sustainable change and a fulfilling life. 

Three things I love: - My sweet family; my husband Brandon and our pups Chance and Quinn; spending time outdoors horseback riding,  hiking, paddleboarding, kayaking, yoga etc; farmers market mornings with good cup of coffee
