Hi! My name is Lindsay Van Gorder and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Arizona. I have over 10 years of experience working as a counselor. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, substance abuse, health issues, and other stressors. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Much of my work history has been working with individuals who are living with HIV/AIDS, homeless,and within the LGBTQ community.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines person-centered, humanistic, and solution focused counseling. I am trained in EMDR and believe in the modality and utilize this approach in my care. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change and healing. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I’ve been with Lindsay for over a year now, closer to two I believe. Not only is she always professional and kind, she always has insight or knowledge on any topic. Since I’ve been working with her, I’ve changed my life by leaps and bounds. She’s a beautiful person inside and out, and she has honestly helped me change the direction of my life. I’ve dealt with anxiety and depression from a very young age and for the first time in my life I feel hopeful that I have a happy life ahead of me. Lindsay is the best, and I highly recommend her. There’s nothing you could tell her that she wouldn’t use compassion and structure to help you.

Since day 1, Lindsay Crum has been fantastic. She takes the approach that's most helpful for me, which is providing structure and sharing lots of resources. When I just need to rebalance or get rid of negative thoughts - she knows exactly what to do to help calm me. She's fantastic and I am so fortunate that we have met on BetterHelp. She's drastically helped improve my life.
