Lindsay Simon, LMFT
Hello, my name is Lindsay Simon and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I understand that one of the most important aspects of therapeutic success is the quality of the client-therapist relationship. Therefore I think it is beneficial for you to know a little more about me to see if we would be a good fit.
I moved to Lake Tahoe 14 years ago after graduating college to pursue my passion for skiing and outdoor activities. After four years of playing in the mountains I moved to San Diego to start my journey towards fulfilling the dream of becoming a therapist. I feel extremely privileged and grateful to have a career that allows me to help others while at the same time continuously grow as an individual.
After completing graduate school and my internship, I began to feel the pull to take me back to the place that my heart never left, and started making my plans to return to Lake Tahoe. I was able to move back to Lake Tahoe in 2013 where I joined the private practice A Balanced Life: Individual, Family and Child Therapy, Inc. in South Lake Tahoe, and also opened my own private practice in Olympic Valley at the base of Squaw Valley Ski Resort.
In September of 2014 I became the owner and Clinical Director at A Balanced Life: Individual, Family and Child Therapy, Inc. in South Lake Tahoe, CA.

Training/experience:
I completed my training and internship at UCSD Family Medicine in San Diego, CA in a collaborative care program. I worked collaboratively with patients' physicians and psychiatrists to assist in providing comprehensive healthcare. I worked at UCSD Family Medicine with patients who had been looking for help from their Primary Care Physician and were then referred to me for psychotherapy, crisis management, and support
During my time at UCSD Family Medicine I was trained extensively in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and also found myself especially interested in helping new parents cope with postpartum emotional disorders and became an active member of the non-profit organization Postpartum Health Alliance. Feel free to follow the link below to find more information about this wonderful organization. I also specialize in assessing and treating adult ADHD (follow the link below for more information on childhood and adult ADHD).
After four years at UCSD Family Medicine I moved on to the private practice of PsyCare, Inc. which also used a collaborative approach, combining psychiatric care and psychotherapy in the same location.
I currently work at A Balanced Life in South Lake Tahoe providing individual, couples, and family counseling. I am the Clinical Director and supervisor and assist in training and supervising our MFT interns (see our website www.abalancedlifetahoe.com for more information).
Therapeutic Style:
I work from a systemic perspective, so I see my client as not only an individual but as part of a larger working system and connection of relationships. I listen to my clients to hear what they need help with, and use my training to assist in finding solutions. I have experience treating children, adolescents, and adults for a multitude of problems ranging from mood disorders, anxiety, grief and loss, adult ADHD, to couples an family counseling. I am trained and specialized in using Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat panic disorder, depression, anxiety and OCD. I incorporate interventions from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focused Therapy in my treatment.

On a personal note:
I grew up in a small New England town spending my winters skiing in Vermont. During my childhood I fell in love with skiing and the outdoors and that has influenced a large part of who I am today. I believe that having a strong connection with nature, family, and friends is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. I consistently work on finding a balance in my own life as I help my clients on finding what that balance looks like in their own lives.
