Lyndsey Masters, MS, LMHC,

As a neurospicy, queer therapist with first-hand experience in non-monogamous and kinky relationships, I provide a safe place for you to explore yourself and your sexuality from a place of curiosity without judgment. If you are exploring and expanding your gender, sexual orientation, kink roles and dynamics, or relationship style, I will help you reflect on matters of identity and your uniqueness, and encourage you to playfully approach your desires and sexual curiosities. I am also keenly aware how living with neurodivergences can disrupt connections with our loved ones, our bodies, and the world around us, as well as the beautiful diversity our brains can bring to the table.

I love the creativity and human connection that my work allows me to experience in my daily life. The opportunities to be witness to my clients’ grief, joy, heartache, and healing are incredibly powerful moments to me, and I recognize the trust that has been placed in me is sacred. I know from experience being in therapy myself, that it is an incredibly tough and brave thing to do to ask for support for yourself when you’re already feeling uncertain or overwhelmed, and the level of vulnerability it takes to be open with someone new. I strive to create a safe space so that you feel free to do the work as needed without fear of judgement and knowing that you are not alone in it..

Before finding my place in the seemingly concentric venn diagram of neurodivergent, kinky, and non-monogamous populations, I have had extensive experiences working in some capacity with just about every population you can think of, to include adults with developmental disabilities and behavioral support needs in vocational training, day habilitation, and residential settings, adults with severe and persistent mental health diagnoses in long-term in-patient, forensic, and transitional housing settings, children and families in a therapeutic family foster care program, adults with co-occurring diagnoses of HIV/AIDS and severe mental health diagnoses, substance use and addiction disorders, adults that have or are currently experiencing housing insecurity, community mental health, life transition stages, grief and loss, and acute crisis intervention. Each of these experiences have gifted me moments that have profoundly shaped the trajectory of my clinical practice, as well as my world view.

Through my clinical practice, I continuously seek learning and skill development opportunities that challenge my own internal biases and beliefs. I seek to change and inform the way that I view and interact with the world and communities around me, and help me to approach my clients with not only best practices in mind, but also with my clients’ wants and autonomy at the forefront of our work together. I have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, somatic processing techniques, person-centered approaches, and Dialectical Behavioral techniques.
