Robert Lindsay, LCSW
About me
I am licensed in North Carolina with 30 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, & parenting issues.
My approach to therapy is simple. Visualize getting into your car or whatever it is you drive. To get where you are going you look out the windshield. You use the rear view mirror as needed but you don't drive looking backwards. You drive by having vision and a plan to get where you're going.
The therapy process is very similar. Teaching ourselves to live life looking forward and having a plan is how we move forward in life. We learn from the past. We see patterns and trends and use this information to make adjustments, but we live by having a vision for ourselves, finding purpose and in the moment of choice, exercise integrity to our core fundamental beliefs/values.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I really enjoy working with Robert, he meets me where I am, challenges me and provides refreshing perspectives about my life! He is engaging in conversation & remembers details about my circumstances to help our sessions be beneficial. I highly recommend! I am a woman & I appreciate his perspective as a man as well. Thank you Robert!

Robert Lindsay is an amazing therapist and mentor. Over our time together we’ve developed an amazing, respectful and fun rapport. Through our shared interests and experiences I feel very safe and respected. I would recommend Robert to anyone.
When I first started my confusing self improvement journey. Robert was there with me from close to the beginning. His insight, guidance and friendly listening ear have been crucial to my growth over the last few months.
Thank you Robert.
