About Lindsay McClernan

As a licensed therapist in Wisconsin, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life challenges. My approach centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth. I have extensive expertise in addressing stress, anxiety, trauma, family dynamics, and life transitions.

My practice focuses on empowering individuals to cultivate self-love, improve communication, overcome isolation, and rediscover their sense of purpose. I work closely with diverse populations, including young adults, women, and individuals experiencing multicultural challenges, prejudice, or discrimination.

I bring a trauma-informed, person-centered perspective to therapy, drawing on evidence-based practices to help clients heal from past experiences and build resilience. Whether you’re struggling with mood disorders, relationship issues, addiction, or seeking support through significant life changes, I’m committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

“Lindsay is very responsive and provides fantastic perspective and feedback.”

“Lindsay has helped me a lot. I feel listened to and supported.”

“I absolutely love her and feel heard.”

“5 star recommendation. She really helped me figure things out in a time of need by both guiding our conversations and allowing me to talk about what I feel like I needed to say at the time.”

“Lindsay has been incredibly helpful the past 5 months. She’s seen me through past traumas, dealing with adult children, and feeling at the end of my rope. Her EMDR training makes her especially valuable!”

“An amazing therapist that listens, empathizes, and gives tools to help cope with life issues and with your particular learning/skill set!”

“I appreciate Lindsay’s attentiveness & her flexibility. Thank you very much!”

“Lindsay has helped me to change my life. I have tried so many things to "get better" throughout my life and felt like I was getting no where. With each new EMDR session, I feel so much relief and like I can take back a little control of my spiraling thoughts. I know I have a long road of healing left but I have hope for success for the first time in my life.”

“This was only the first session but so far so good.”

“Very happy to have found her. She makes me feel comfortable to open up.”

“Lindsay, although it’s only been two sessions so far has been a welcomed addition to my life and is helping me work through some long seeded family and confrontational trauma. I cannot say how much I appreciate her.”

“Very caring and listens well”
