Lindsay Carter

Hello and welcome to NLYTN Counseling Service. My name is Lindsay Carter, Licensed Professional Counselor located in Franklin, PA. Over the past 20 years I have dedicated my life to helping others. During this time, I have been very fortunate to have learned and worked in a wide variety of clinical settings. I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, minoring in sociology, child development and family relations, with a concentration in sexual education and gender studies. In 2009, I joined the Transitions Program which was a new and unique intensive community mental health program working with transition-aged young adults with significant mental illnesses and little to no supports or resources. There I became immersed in ESFT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, group therapy and affirmative therapy as I worked with individuals, families, and couples facing compounded issues related to mental illness, trauma, grief/loss, poverty, pregnancy/parenting, marginalization, addiction, homelessness, and unemployment across many different settings. In 2018, I became Program Director while also working on obtaining my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I graduated in 2020 as student of the year with summa cum laude honors. In 2022, I expanded my position by taking on Clinical Directorship of Regional Counseling Center, Inc. and in 2023 again expanded by adding Assistant Director. I draw upon my own life experiences, education, and training to deliver eclectic treatments and interventions tailored to meet individual needs. I believe my clients are the experts on themselves and developing a therapeutic alliance with a skilled clinician is the key to self-discovery and healing. Through all of my experiences, I gained a special interest in serving transition-aged youth and LGBTQIA+ populations. In my free time, I enjoy being with my family and 3 dogs, cooking, gardening, and tending to my pond. My backyard is my own oasis that I enjoy sharing with family and friends.
