Meet Lindsey Waters, LPC

As a Licensed Professional Counselor at Atlas Psychology Boulder, I blend evidence-based therapeutic approaches with humanistic psychology to support young adults and adults through their mental health journey. Specializing in depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and mood disorders, I create a warm, judgment-free space where personal growth and self-compassion flourish.

  • As a Licensed Professional Counselor at Atlas Psychology in Boulder, I specialize in supporting young adults and adults navigating substance use, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma. My foundation in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Denver, with specialized training in Addictions Counseling, enables me to provide comprehensive mental health support for complex challenges.

    I believe in creating truly personalized therapeutic experiences. Understanding that each person's journey is unique, I tailor my approach to fit your individual needs while drawing from evidence-based modalities including:

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

    • Motivational Interviewing

    • Parts Work

    • Mindfulness and Somatic Interventions

    My trauma-informed and psychodynamic approach explores the deeper aspects of your experience, including:

    • Interpersonal relationship patterns

    • Attachment styles

    • Family systems dynamics

    • Personal growth opportunities

    • Self-worth development

    Humanistic Therapy forms the foundation of my practice at Atlas Psychology, emphasizing personal empowerment and authentic growth. Self-compassion plays a central role in our work together, as we explore different aspects of your identity with genuine curiosity. I encourage clients to ask themselves: "How have these parts of me served a purpose?" Understanding that all aspects of ourselves developed for a reason, we can work together to identify which patterns still serve you and which ones you're ready to transform through new coping skills and perspectives.

    In our sessions, you'll find a judgment-free, emotionally safe environment where warmth, compassion, and even laughter are part of the healing process. I believe that therapeutic growth happens best in an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding, where you can explore your multidimensional identity with curiosity and kindness.
