Lindsay Durgan, MA, LMFT - Counseling and Psychotherapy — Counselor in City and County of San Francisco, CA

Working with Lindsay has profoundly impacted my life for the better, and I can’t speak of her highly enough! Her compassion and understanding of intersectionality has helped me to navigate the world as an autistic nonbinary person of colour, particularly by providing me with tools and strategies I’ve been able to employ to mitigate the symptoms of my social anxiety. Lindsay has been there to support me through the most difficult times in my life with her empathy and level-headed guidance; and I can say with certainty that her exemplary quality of care is consistent in every session, whether face-to-face or virtual.

I contacted Lindsay Durgan about 8 months ago, when I was going through a lot of change. And my therapist Lindsay booked me in for a 15 min phone consultation to start. I instantly felt heard and understood by her! I can't fully express how helpful and important therapy has been in my life, but I'm so grateful. It means so much to me to have a professional in my corner who I can trust and confide in, no matter how emotional I get - she always comes across so patient, supportive, and constructive in every situation. Lindsay is simply amazing at what she does.

Lindsay is a wonderful, warm, and committed therapist who helped our daughter navigate a difficult time in her life and come out on the other side with the tools she needed. I would highly recommend Lindsay to any parent looking for help with their teenager.

Having worked with numerous mental health professionals over the past couple of decades, I can't recommend Lindsay Durgan highly enough to anyone looking for teen or adolescent counseling or for individual psychotherapy and trauma counseling for adults. Lindsay's warm, caring approach not only make it extremely easy to open up and talk to her, but unlike so many therapists, she actually takes an active role in providing compassionate feedback, support, and guidance. It's obvious Lindsay is extremely passionate about helping people heal, grow, and transform their lives. I feel privileged to know and work with her and look forward to continuing to do so!

I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Durgan for many years on a number of cases. She brings compassion and thoughtfulness to her cases. While she works with individual adults very well, she has a particular knack for dealing with adolescents in crisis. She is able to incorporate in-depth insights to help families in what can be a difficult time. She has an engaging manner that generates confidence in those who are in therapy with her. I recommend her highly without reservation. David Auld, Ph.D. Clinical Psychologist

I have known Ms. Durgan professionally for the past 7 years. She is empathetic, patient, and kind, and has an innate grasp of the problems faced by children, adolescents and adults. She clearly adds humor and her unique, good-natured perspective to her work. Her clinical training and consultation informs her work, especially with the challenges of adolescent clients. She cares deeply for her clients, provides excellent care, and clearly loves the work she does!

I am a clinical psychologist and I've known Lindsay for the past 10 years. We were colleagues during our clinical training and have been in the same weekly consultation group for the last six years. It has been very helpful to work on cases together involving children, parents and adults. Lindsay is a compassionate, empathetic, and devoted therapist. She is extremely thoughtful and focused on understanding and supporting her clients in a collaborative and productive way. Lindsay’s clients benefit greatly from her insights and warm presence.

“My impression when we met was skepticism. I didn’t like many of the psych individuals I met in my career. As we talked, I saw in you the healing qualities I found in the very few physicians I had been impressed and guided by.” James Koss, MD FAAEM (retired) – Board Certified Emergency Medical Physician

As a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I have been fortunate to collaborate with therapist Lindsay Durgan in the treatment of adolescents with mental health issues. She is a thoughtful and compassionate therapist who is extremely dedicated to the wellbeing of her clients.
