Lindsay Legé, LCSW-S

For over a decade, I’ve supported queer and trans clients, as well as
people exploring polyamorous and non-monogamous relationships. Couples
and relationship work is some of my favorite work: I love helping
people find their way back to each other, get unstuck from old
patterns, and build deeper connection.

My approach is integrative and relational, which means I’m staying
present and attuned to clients, rather than intellectualizing or only
talking our way through things. I stay connected to what’s happening
in the room: to notice what’s being felt, what’s left unsaid, and what
might be happening underneath the patterns that keep you stuck. And
there’s room for humor in it too—I take what we’re doing seriously,
but I don’t take myself too seriously.

With a background in macro social work, I know relationships don’t
exist in a vacuum, and that the world around us shapes how we see
ourselves, how we connect with others, and what we bring into our
relationships. Many of the people I work with carry the impacts of
homophobia, transphobia, racism, classism, and other forms of
marginalization, and my aim is to create a reparative space where you
can feel seen, heard, and understood.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Pittsburgh
and have completed Candyce Ossefort-Russell’s year-long DEEP Theory
and Skills Training Course. With couples, I primarily use Emotionally
Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), and I’ve completed a four-day EFCT
Externship and am continuing my training in EFCT Core Skills.

Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy running trails, reading, and
learning how to make things out of clay. And, in case you’re
wondering: my last name is pronounced like “le-jay,” with a soft “g”
instead of a “j.”
