Hi there!

I'm Lindsey Saltzman, LSCW, the founder and practitioner behind Equinox Counseling & Consulting, LLC. I have worked in the field since 2013 and am excited to offer individual telehealth services through my own private practice in Indiana!

I have worked with many different populations, from those experiencing a crisis, to sexual assault victims, to college students struggling with anxiety, to survivors of homicide/suicide. My true passion and specialty however is working with first responders and survivors of intimate partner violence.

My Approach

I accept my clients where they are while also pushing them to realize the barriers preventing them from achieving the life they desire. I am not afraid to call my clients out or challenge them when their actions or thoughts are counter-productive to their goals. I want to make sure every client gets the most out of our sessions & we can make true changes together. Progress cannot be achieved through one therapy session every 2-3 weeks, thus I expect my clients to do work between sessions to implement the concepts we discuss. My ultimate goal is to work with you to help you find better balance & healthier relationships throughout your life. I look forward to the day my clients no longer feel like they "need" me.

My Story

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern Indiana in 2013 and am licensed in the state of Indiana (License # 34007677A). I was an embedded clinician within a law enforcement agency and on a mobile crisis response team for 5 years in Charleston, South Carolina, both of which included daily interaction with first responders on mental health crisis & negotiation scenes. I also provided VOCA services to victims of various crimes including domestic violence, sexual assault, & homicide/suicide survivors.

I am trained in various evidence based practices including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), & Grief Therapy. I also have specialty training in suicide prevention, first responder mental health, & victim services. I'm CISM certified for both individual & group intervention & in 2019 became a Certified Clinical Supervisor in the state of South Carolina. I was also awarded the Mount Pleasant Police Department Community Service Award in 2021 & named their Civilian of the Quarter for quarter 3 of 2021. I regularly attend conferences/trainings focusing on first responder mental health and trauma treatment.

I grew up and currently reside in Southwestern Indiana with my family. I am a LEO wife, "boy mom", and animal lover. I enjoy spending time outdoors, playing with my husky, & learning about astronomy - hence the name of my practice!
