About Me
Hi, I’m Lindsay Tucker (they/she). I’m a white, nonbinary therapist. I was raised middle-class and my family was impacted by addiction, disability, cancer, and loss. I believe transparency matters in therapeutic relationships. I share elements of my social position (Misawa, 2010, p. 26) so you understand the perspective I bring and the privileges I am responsible for navigating.
I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Certificate in Trauma Counseling from Antioch University. Before stepping into counseling, I worked for over a decade as a molecular and computational biologist in tech and academia, while also racing bikes at a professional level.
My practice is rooted in liberatory values of collective healing and body autonomy. I also coach athletes in a HAES®-aligned way and teach trauma-informed weightlifting and yoga. I care deeply about helping people repair their relationship with their bodies, create meaningful rituals, and find more ease and embodiment in their lives.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me outside—moving, clapping, playing, and exploring with my two- and four-legged family members.
I work with participants from a variety of backgrounds across the lifespan. I understand the unique challenges of athletes, parents, and neurodiverse individuals and the immense pressure often felt to perform at their best.
I also recognize the effects of diet and wellness culture in these groups and I enjoy helping these participants repair and improve their relationship with food, movement, and their body. I am a health at every size (HAES®)-aligned provider.
