Lindsay R. Repko, M.A., LMFT — Counselor in City and County of San Francisco, CA

Parents usually bring their children for therapy when they notice behaviors that signal trouble and they feel unable to cope with the problem on their own. Lindsay has a gift for connecting with children whom others find difficult or frustrating and using that connection to transform behaviors from the inside out. Rather than providing a route system of rewards and punishments that don’t work for all kids and can be difficult for parents to implement effectively, she has a deep curiosity for who the child is and what’s motivating the troubling behavior. With this deeper understanding of the unique child and his or her circumstances, Lindsay is able to provide the child and parents with what is actually needed for lasting change. Lindsay also has a genuine care and respect for the parents or caregivers who are bringing their child into therapy. She understands that the parents are motivated by love, and she works with families in a very caring, collaborative way. If you are looking with a therapist to meet with your child, I highly recommend giving Lindsay a call.
