Lindsey Kennard, MA, LPC (formerly Mandell)

Lindsey earned her Master of Arts in Counseling, with an advanced specialization in Mental Health and Psychosis, from Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. She also earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology with a minor in Interpersonal Communication from Oakland University.

Lindsey’s therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centered and acceptance-based frameworks. She believes that meaningful therapy begins with creating a space where patients feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Drawing on a range of evidence-based interventions, including CBT, motivational interviewing, art therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Lindsey helps patients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through this process, patients can explore patterns, build self-esteem, heal from trauma, and create meaningful opportunities for personal growth.

Lindsey is passionate about helping patients recognize and unlock their strengths and potential while cultivating hope and providing thoughtful, evidence-based guidance. She specializes in anxiety, mood disorders, stress management, and the challenges that can arise during major life transitions and daily life adjustments.

Lindsey has a particular passion for supporting women through the complex emotional experiences surrounding infertility, reproductive trauma, miscarriage, birth trauma, perinatal depression and anxiety, postpartum adjustments, and the transition into maternal identity and parenthood.

Lindsey strives to create a therapeutic environment that feels grounded, thoughtful, and honest. A space where patients can slow down, reconnect with themselves, examine long-standing patterns, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change. Her goal is to walk alongside each patient with compassion and curiosity, helping them develop greater self-understanding, resilience, and confidence as they move toward the life they want to create. Lindsey has experience working with all ages and currently has morning availability.
