Hi, I’m Lindsay Mayes, a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with a Master of Social Work from Walden University and a Bachelor’s degree in Public Health from Northern Arizona University.

For the past three years, I have worked in community mental health as a school-based therapist, supporting children, adolescents, and young adults as they navigate emotional, behavioral, social, and life challenges. I have experience working with a wide range of needs and enjoy creating a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered. I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also value working collaboratively with parents, caregivers, and other members of a client’s support system to provide well-rounded care and help create consistency between therapy, home, and school/work.

I believe therapy is most effective when clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to be an active part of their own growth. I am passionate about helping children, teens, and young adults build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen relationships, and navigate life’s challenges while recognizing and building upon the strengths they already have.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. My husband serves in the Navy, so our family has had the opportunity to move around and experience different places over the years (my favorite being Oahu, Hawaii). We are very happy to call Arizona home and feel grateful to be settled here. As a family, we enjoy camping, off-roading, and spending time outdoors together.
