Lindsey Arrasmith, MSW, LICSW, SUDP
I am the Clinic Director at our Seattle clinic. I practice integrative, evidence-based therapy. I am trained in different models of therapy practice including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Lifespan Integration (LI), and Seeking Safety (SS). My professional background includes working in various inpatient, outpatient, and supported living settings. I conduct assessments, create treatment plans with interdisciplinary teams, provide resources, and support patients and their families through decision-making, crisis, conflicts, grief, and loss issues. My experience as a social worker has equipped me to work with individuals with a wide range of challenges including trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, and codependency. While substance use may not be the sole focus of our sessions together, if it is something that is taking a toll on your life, please know that I welcome this in our practice. It may take three to five sessions to determine whether there is a good “fit” for therapy. Once known, a course of treatment will be decided.
I am passionate about working with those with identify some of their own strengths and/or goals as being motivated for change, an openness for dialog, and those who are eager for introspection and greater self-awareness. I strive to help cultivate peaceful moments, space for ambiguity, and celebrations of the self. I am passionate about working with individuals who are feeling lost, depleted anxious, and disconnected from themselves and their loved ones due to ongoing challenges.
I believe that change is more than possible, it is probable, with the right support. I am determined to help people navigate the moments of trauma and emotional pain with the utmost compassion. My commitment is to bring my best self and to build trust in me and my skills. With those in place, I know we can journey together and develop your toolbox of emotional skills to ease and end the pain of trauma, anxiety, depression, and whatever life events cause you to reach out. I am a white, cisgender, woman who is passionate about inclusivity, equity, and justice.
