Rushing Rivers Quiet Mind

Therapy Practice

Rushing Rivers Quiet Mind

Rushing Rivers Quiet Mind was launched in 2020 as a first step in me responding to my inner knowing–that working for a large community mental health system no longer was consistently aligning with my values of providing invested therapy to clients while also practicing self-care.

Rushing Rivers Quiet Mind is the result of years of me cycling through listening, ignoring, listening and finally responding with action to my inner knowing…taking a step (sometimes it still feels more like a leap) and going it on my own.

Practicing this self-trust truly only came when I decided to take a step and find that the ground actually did not fall out from underneath me.

Licensed Professional Counselor

Lindsey A. Rushing, LPC

LGBTQIA-identified, Cis, She/Her

Lindsey builds a dynamic space within the counseling landscape by providing her clients a steadiness in the ease of her demeanor—interworking a straightforward style with kindness, humor, hope and compassion.

Her path to becoming a therapist has not been a linear one, and it is because of this that she is able to lean in with a wholehearted eclectic approach that honors both self, the diversity of her clients, and the breadth of the experiences each brings into therapy.

She specializes in the work of helping clients learn to let go of what no longer serves them and honestly live out of a place of abundance, joy, and curiosity. The core of her work with clients focuses on coming through therapy understanding more about yourself and loving that person deep down. Deep love. Cellular-level love—the almost indescribable stuff. It’s not thinking about who you are or thinking about loving yourself but living day-to-day in the being of who you are. You are not your depression, anxiety, or traumatic experiences. You are not what others may have told you about you. You are not the negative narratives you may believe about yourself.

She is an ardent practitioner of EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)–having trained at the Maiberger Institute in Boulder, Colorado. EMDR is an integrative evidence-based trauma therapy that helps a person identify historical experiences in which one may feel stuck and reorients the brain and body to self-healing. There is a freedom that exists in the present moment and when the present truly becomes available to a person…change happens. Radical change can happen.
