Meet Dr. Lindsay Fulton, Licensed Therapist in Berkeley, CA

It is a research-based, empirically-validated method where one seeks the causes and origins of suffering and works through them, healing and letting them go. Psychodynamic therapy is proven to be effective.

I graduated from the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) with a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology (PsyD) and did my undergraduate BA at U.C. Davis.I’m a licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY34930). In order to obtain a license, one is required to complete 4-5 years of doctoral study, at least 3000 clinical training hours, and pass two licensing exams, one state and one national. Continuing education and adherence to law and ethics is required to maintain the license. I have trained with many wonderful community mental health clinics across the Bay Area including the San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Center, The Ann Martin Center, The San Francisco Veteran’s Administration (VA), UCSF, Richmond Area Multi-Sevices (RAMS), Child Haven, and Through the Looking Glass, a community mental health clinic that specializes in serving families with a child or caregiver who has a disability.In addition, I’m a survivor of trauma myself, and I know what it means to seek help and to heal. I sought help for many years before finding a clinician who could actually help me. Finding the right person, someone competent in meeting my needs, saved my life. I found the work that we did together to be incredibly moving and powerful, and it inspired me to share that with others.

The consult call is an opportunity to assess the fit - will we work well together? I’ve found it’s helpful to tell you a little about myself, hear more about what you’re looking for, and see if it’s a match. If you feel that we’d work well together, we can schedule a first session. The therapeutic relationship is integral to successful healing, so we will be checking in as we go, to make sure it’s working for you.

When clients first start therapy, I establish a strong relationship and comfortable environment where they feel safe and understood. From there, I will tailor treatment to meet your needs, and check in regularly to see how our work is feeling for you.

Yes, I offer both in-person sessions at my office or video sessions through a confidential telehealth platform.
