Welcome. I’m Lindsey Brown, LAPC.
I work with teens (aged 13 and older), young adults, and adults navigating life-impacting challenges, including substance use, trauma, depression, parenting anxiety, and OCD. I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a big step, so I will focus on creating a space where you can feel comfortable, heard, and not judged.
I also counsel individuals for ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, anger management, BPD, chronic illness/pain, grief, relationship issues, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, phobias, perinatal/motherhood, sexual addiction, suicidal ideation, and more.
During our first session, my goal is to approach it in a collaborative, down-to-earth way. We can explore what brings you to therapy at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I will use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT-Informed) to help you better understand your thoughts, process past experiences, manage overwhelming emotions, and build coping skills that fit your day-to-day life.
With my years of experience and training, I offer a trauma-informed approach, which means I’m mindful of how past experiences can shape what you’re going through now. Whether you’re a teen dealing with stress, a parent feeling stretched thin, or an adult working through life transitions or recovery, we’ll work together at a pace that feels right for you.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Temple University and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lock Haven University. I began my career working with individuals with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
After completing my master’s degree, I transitioned into mental health care, facilitating PHP and IOP groups as well as providing individual therapy. I also have experience in trauma-informed care, perinatal and postpartum mental health and medication-assisted treatment.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in building the tools, insight, and confidence to move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Lindsey Brown offers in-person therapy at the York office and online sessions to anyone in Pennsylvania.
Whether you are suffering from panic attacks, obsessive – compulsive disorder, or generalized anxiety we have therapists who use evidenced-based treatments, such as cognitive-bahavioral therapy, to help you.
Caregiving for a loved one can be challenging even in the best of circumstances. Often we don’t think about how the caregiver needs support, too. If you are experiencing burnout, our therapists can teach you skills to help you cope.
Depression and anxiety are extremely common, but often under-diagnosed by medical providers during pregnancy and postpartum. Our providers have specialized training to help women with anxiety and depression in this specific period in their lives.
Depression, one of the most common mental health disorders, is very treatable. Our therapists are specially trained to help individuals with depression get back to feeling like themselves again.
Move Forward Counseling is an inclusive practice where we want the LGBTQIA+ community to feel welcome and supported. Whether you are unsure how to embrace your identity, are having relationship issues, or need extra support from a non-judgmental person, we have therapists who can help.
Life transitions encompass many things, including starting or ending a romantic relationship, changes with work or school or making any big life change, such as a move. Often we underestimate how these changes will affect us emotionally until we find ourselves struggling with the ups and downs of the life transition.
While we don’t provide couples counseling at Move Forward, many individuals seek counseling to discuss how they can have healthier relationships. Our therapists can help you learn new ways of communicating, setting boundaries, and other ways to have more positive relationships with others.
It is important to understand that everyone’s experience with substance use is different; therefore, symptoms and consequences can differ. The levels of treatment also differ based on your usage and whether you seek support for substance use or have been diagnosed with an SUD.
Moving into adulthood brings its own set of challenges. You may feel pressure to have a “career” or find your life partner. You may be unsure of making these big life decisions and may feel lost because you no longer have school or other adults in your life telling you what you should choose.
The period of adolescence can be exciting, but also challenging for many teens. Difficulties with friends, school, anxiety, depression, cutting, and substance abuse are all common issues for this group. Due to a lack of life experience, teens may not know how to manage these problems which is why therapy can be especially helpful.
Trauma symptoms and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be debilitating for many who experience it. Recovery from trauma is possible and we have therapists who can help.
