As a queer and genderqueer therapist, I provide client-centered care that values and honors every aspect of who you are. Your identity is not a footnote — it is the center of our work together.
About Lindsay
I’m Lindsay Summers (they/she), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Maryland, DC, and South Carolina. As a queer and genderqueer therapist, I approach my practice through a lens of anti-oppression, feminist, and queer theory.
I provide client-centered therapy that values and honors all aspects of my clients’ identities — continuously working to address power and privilege in the therapeutic space. My clinical work centers on supporting clients in processing and integrating trauma, and empowering them to reclaim their power, perspective, and life narrative.
I believe most, if not all, mental health challenges are rooted in trauma. My work is grounded in the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship — with all of who you are at the center.
What I offer
Processing and integrating difficult experiences using DBT, TF-CBT, CPT, polyvagal theory, and narrative therapy.
Affirming care for 2SLGBTQIA+ clients — a space where your full identity is honored, not just tolerated.
Understanding the roots of anxiety and low mood, including neurodivergence (ADHD & Autism), through a trauma-informed lens.
Specialized support using DBT and Shame Resilience Theory — non-judgmental, evidence-based, and always at your pace.
Making space for grief in all its forms — death, relationship endings, identity shifts, and disenfranchised loss.
Support through major changes — career, relationships, identity, and reclaiming your narrative on your own terms.
