iNfinitely Well: Lindsay Craven, MSW, LSWAIC Holistic Mental Wellness Counselor

Here are some things that are most deeply important in my work:

I do not shy away from how colonialism, systemic racism and oppression, capitalism and other oppressive systems impact us in collective and individual ways.

Centering and helping you name your awareness and expertise, allowing for concrete strategizing around problems and situations that arise for you.

Helping you navigate the intersections of self-care and self-preservation in their most basic forms as well as by welcoming radical joy, rest and abundance.

Honoring the resilience that is gained in our acts of survival while unpacking the traumas, harms and injustices that make survival necessary. Support around embodying challenging emotions that we may have disassociated from along the way.

Supporting the nuances of Indigenous and mixed racial and ethnic identity, and the trauma of broken lineages and disconnect.

Excavating and addressing acute, interpersonal, intergenerational, complex and historical traumas.

Examining individual, intergenerational and historical patterns and interrogating our cultures sensitively with both respect and an openness to fluidity.

Reclaiming understanding and relationship with mental health diagnoses, combining clinical and cultural knowledge and an understanding around how these labels can be applied problematically even when they’re necessary.

Embracing community and cultural care as an aspect of healing.

My goal is to partner with you in healing, with the knowledge that you are the expert of your own life and carry deep wells of knowledge, power, and resilience. I’m here to support you in accessing these, as well as affirming and reclaiming ancestral and traditional knowledge.
