About Me

Lindsay Arbanas, LICSW, LMHC

Let me introduce myself to you. I'm a depth psychotherapist, mother, mystic, and grounded guide through life's thresholds. My work sits at the intersection of psychology, embodiment, and deep inner reclamation. I support individuals--especially women and sensitive seekers at the edge of change--who are navigating grief, transition, relational wounds, and the longing to come home to themselves.

I have a Master's in Social Work and am trained in Gestalt, Jungian and EFT modalities. Over the course of fifteen years in private practice, my work has deepened to include trauma-informed somatics, parts work, shadow integration, and ancestral listening. I believe healing is nonlinear. It's fierce and sacred. It's as much about rage and boundaries as it is about softness and repair.

I draw on a relational, depth-oriented framework--meaning I value the therapeutic relationship as a living container for real transformation. I integrate:

Gestalt practices to help you become aware of what's happening in the here-and-now

Jungian/archetypal insights for soul-based perspective

Somatic attunement to reconnect mind, body, and nervous system

Inquiry-based dialogue to meet the truth behind the symptoms

I also offer focused support for:

Men in healing processes around shame, embodiment, emotional expression, or relational trauma.

Mothers feeling ambivalence, anger, or deep transformation around motherhood

Creatives and seekers wanting to reclaim their voice, wildness, or erotic vitality

Spiritual crises and existential questioning

Feminine initiations (midlife, menstrual shifts, breakup, betrayal, or desire for spiritual reclamation)

Above all, I listen. Not just to your words, but to what's unspoken. What's aching to emerge. What's been hidden, exiled, or shamed.

Clients describe our work as deep, warm, challenging, and life-affirming. I hold space with fierce compassion and gentle directness. I don't pathologize your pain--I help you translate it.

You don't need to censor yourself here. You get to show up messy, raw, numb, or wild. We work together to rebuild trust in your own voice, instincts, and worth.

This work saved my life.

I've walked through the fire of chronic illness, motherhood ambivalence, spiritual exile and identity collapse. I know what its like to unravel. I also know what it takes to rise, not polished but whole. Therapy was never just a career for me. It's been a devotion. And now, it's become a place where I help others reclaim their voice, their body, and their power.

My work continues to evolve. I offer traditional therapy as well as creative, integrative offerings for those at a threshold--whether spiritual, relational, or creative. I collaborate with ritualists, artists, healers, and wild thinkers. If you're looking for a therapist who will sit beside you in the dark and still hold a torch--Welcome.
