Lindsay Metli is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, addictions, and life transitions. She draws on an integrative, holistic approach that considers mind, body, and spirit to tailor evidence-based strategies for each person's unique needs. Clients have described her as down to earth and easy to connect with, and she focuses on helping people set practical goals that improve overall well-being.

Lindsay earned a Bachelor of Science in psychology and a Master of Social Work from the University of Utah. She has practiced in a variety of settings including community mental health, private practice, and psychiatric hospitals, and she previously worked in child welfare advocating for children and families. While completing her degrees she volunteered in the mental health unit of a prison teaching basic life skills and led therapy groups at a women’s halfway house. She has experience providing treatment to individuals, families, and groups and has worked with people from many different backgrounds.

Her clinical interests include treatment for physical, emotional, and sexual trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, addictions, and adjustment to major life changes. She uses a range of therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, client-centered work, psychodynamic ideas, somatic and trauma-focused methods, narrative approaches, positive psychology, and family systems perspectives. LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a professional credential for practitioners trained to provide clinical social work services.

At home she is part of a blended family with two teenage stepchildren and a young son. Her husband is a veteran and she has experience managing family responsibilities during his absences, which informs her understanding of caregiver stress and household dynamics. She welcomes the opportunity to connect with new clients and support them in moving toward lasting change.
