How did we get here?

Lindsay Carter, founder, owner and CEO, has been in the mental health world for 12 years. She began as a client herself; an insecure teenager who had made decisions that were leading her down an uncertain path. She would then stay on that path for almost 15 years. She found hope through church and therapists, but quickly drifted off the path God had set for her. It was through the Word and psychotherapy that she was finally able to come to terms with God's love and learn skills to ensure her own autonomy to engage in healthy communication, trusting relationships and an overall feeling of fulfillment in life!

Lindsay finished her undergraduate degree in 2011 from Bethany College, in Social Work, taking one class at a time and working full time to support her daughter. She began graduate school at Geneva College obtaining a Master of Art in Family and Marriage Therapy in May 2016. And in came another unexpected blessing from God; her now husband of 9 years-Eddie. Being able to take her, and her daughter in as his own, and support Lindsay through graduate school is testament to his love, and he is standing right next to her once again, cheering her on and encouraging her. Eddie and Lindsay live in Washington, Pa with their three daughters and two dogs.

As she looks back on how she has overcome her own mental health through the Word and therapy was something she knew God was wanting her to do for others. Her personal experiences, and professional roles include 1 year as a therapeutic support staff, a child advocate for the court system, a case worker at a group home for 2 years, 4 years as a level 2 family-based therapist, and working for a private practice the last 4 years has led her to this venture of branching out on her own with Rooted in Healing Counseling which launched in June 2024.

Lindsay completed an intensive program In 2023 and is now a Board Certified Christian Counselor, a certified SYMBIS facilitator (Christian pre-martial counseling course), Spiritual First Aid certified, Level 1 Trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, a member of the American Counseling Association and the Association for Spiritual, Ethical and Religious Values in Counseling, as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania since 2018.
