“fake it till you make it” can’t last forever.

MEET Lindsey Regier, LPC in west linn, oregon.

Let me guess:

You're here because something’s gotta give.

You're tired of feeling like you're constantly fighting your own brain. Like you're doing everything "right" but still ending up exhausted, anxious, or just... empty. Like everyone else got the manual for being human and you're still trying to figure it out as you go.

Because you know that "fake it 'til you make it" has an expiration date. That your feelings are trying to tell you something important. That there's a difference between surviving and actually thriving.

you’ve come to the right place.

How I work

At the core of my approach
is a belief that you deserve to be truly seen and understood.

Clients tell me that I'm really good at hearing what's underneath what they're saying - the fears, the unmet needs, the survival strategies, the old wounds. I track patterns across sessions and I'm not afraid to point out the incongruent stuff, like "Is it actually fine, or are you avoiding conflict because whenever you spoke up as a kid something bad happened?"

My teenagers joke that when I look at them, it's like I'm "staring into their soul" - apparently I've got an intense look, but not in a bad way. There's often this moment, especially with kids and teens, where I offer a reflection and it clicks: "Holy crap, she really sees me. She really knows me." That's when the real work begins.

For adults, it's that same deep recognition - finally having someone who can see the patterns you've been stuck in and help you understand why your brain does what it does. Not to judge it, but to help you decide if those old strategies still work for your actual life.

With couples and families, I'm really good at not taking sides. I can sense where the misunderstanding is, what pattern is getting kicked off, where the disconnect lives. I tell kids I'm their "grown-up translator" - helping adults understand what they're really saying, and helping kids hear what the adults actually mean. That's true with all people, though. I help you have better, different conversations.

truth & courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.

in therapy with me…

i hear what you’re saying - and what you’re not saying

We're not just talking about surface-level stuff here. We'll get into the patterns that keep showing up, the feelings you've been avoiding, and the stories your nervous system learned way back when. I'm not afraid of the messy, complicated parts - that's usually where the real work happens.

I help you hear each other - or yourself.

With couples and families, I can sense where the misunderstanding is, what pattern is getting kicked off, where the disconnect lives. I'm your translator, helping you have better, different conversations. In individual work, I help you hear what your own feelings and patterns are trying to tell you.

I call out the patterns.

I remember what you said four sessions ago. I see the incongruent stuff and I'm not afraid to point it out - like "Is it actually fine, or are you avoiding conflict because..." That's when the real breakthroughs happen, when we can see what's been running the show.
