Meet Lindsey Lessley MA, LPC

Since I was a child, my passion in life has been to be "Jesus' love in human form" to those around me. I have experienced incredible joy and heart-wrenching pain. I have felt broken, alone and ashamed. I have also experienced being completely loved, covered in grace, and restored. Though the seasons of my life continually change, the core of who I am remains the same. I am God's child. He loves me, unconditionally. And in turn, I have His love inside of me to share with you. And while the core of me is filled up with His love, it has been the seasons of my life that have opened my eyes up to see His love in new and deeper ways. In my pain and darkest moments, Christ met me there. When I was a heap on the floor, crying out to God in my pain, I actually felt God's arms wrapped around me. In the midst of that pain, God ignited a passion in me for others who have walked the broken road as well. There is such hope in Christ, who makes all things new.

I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Taylor University (2003) and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University (2012). I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Oregon. I have been trained in Play Therapy and Sandtray Therapy. Prior to my clinical work at RHC, I spent five years as a counselor/parenting consultant, providing customized services for families impacted by addiction, trauma, abuse and neglect. I spent my Master's internship providing counseling services for college students at Concordia University.
