Our Team

 

Lindsay Legé, LCSW-S

Thanks for your interest in my practice! I received my masters in social work from the University of Pittsburgh and provide therapy to individuals, couples, and groups in Austin, Texas.

I have completed training in Candyce Ossefort Russel’s DEEP Experiential Therapy Skills and Theory Training Course based on cutting-edge interpersonal neurobiology, emotion theory, developmental sciences, and attachment theory. I take a relational approach in the room by being present and feeling with clients, as opposed to intellectualizing or only talking our way through or out of things.

Oh yeah, you might be wondering how to pronounce my last name. It's like le-jay, with a soft g instead of a j. 

“The moment of queer pride is a refusal to be shamed by witnessing the other as being ashamed of you.”

Lori Finkel, LMSW (supervised by Lindsay Legé, LCSW-S)

We are all deserving of love for being exactly who we are, even if societal messages tell us otherwise! Whether you’re struggling with loneliness, depression/anxiety, low self-image, grief, sex, sexuality, gender, identity, shame, purpose, or meaning, we will work together to strengthen your sense of self, help you find your voice, and allow your true “you” to shine through. 

I received my master’s degree in social work from Florida State University, where I interned with a hospital-based animal therapy team and a pre-hospice program. Before going back to school, I worked in communications for nonprofits and small businesses.

I believe that my clients are the experts of their own lives and our work together is a collaboration to create functional, desirable outcomes. My therapeutic approach is integrative and eclectic, mindfulness-based, compassionate, and humorous (when appropriate!). I am welcoming of all beliefs and spiritual practices, and provide a warm, open-minded, sex-positive, queer-friendly, non-judgmental space for you to be your full, authentic self.

I am currently accepting new in person and virtual clients. If you’d like to schedule a free consultation, contact me at lori.finkel@aliveaustin.com
