Krista-gay Lingo, LCSW

My work as a licensed clinical social worker has shown me how often women and girls learn to push through overwhelm while the people around them assume they’re doing fine. That’s part of why I created Healed on Purpose. I provide therapy for BIPOC women and adolescent girls navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, PMDD, and the pressure to keep it all together at school, at work, or at home. I care about how your culture, relationships, and everyday responsibilities shape what you’re carrying. In therapy, we’ll make space to talk honestly about what feels hard, understand what’s behind it, and find practical tools that fit your life.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and practical. We’ll start with what feels hardest right now and take time to understand how your experiences, culture, and daily demands shape what you’re going through. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help you notice patterns, manage intense emotions, and respond to yourself with more compassion. If you’re navigating ADHD, we’ll build strategies around how your brain works and what you can realistically do on a hard day. I’ll bring tools and guidance, and we’ll figure out together what feels helpful and doable in your everyday life.
