Lindsay Goldstein-Hawkes

I am Lindsay Goldstein-Hawkes, MSW, LCSW, Certified School Social Worker. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of New Jersey with over a decade of experience. I spent my early career working in a Partial Hospital Program with young adults and adults with intellectual impairments and mental illness. I then worked at outpatient counseling centers where I worked with kids, tweens, teens, and adults. I transitioned to working in a therapeutic high school and public high school, where I met with individuals, groups, and families. I specialized in anxiety, depression, adjustments, caregiver stress, school refusal, the effects of COVID-19, self-exploration, and learning disabilities.

The driving force behind Silver Lining Therapist, LLC is for me to do what I love the most—to focus on my clients. I juggle being a full-time mom of three, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a colleague, and a practicing therapist. I believe in having balance in life and with Silver Lining Therapist, LLC, I hope to find it myself while instilling what I practice in my work with clients.

I received my Bachelors in Family Studies from the University of New Hampshire and my Masters in Social Work from New York University. I continuously grow my knowledge through consulting with colleagues turned friends, attending workshops/conferences, taking classes regularly, and clinically supervising up-and-coming therapists. So, if you are having trouble finding the silver linings in your life today, you may benefit from seeing me, Lindsay Goldstein-Hawkes, Silver Lining Therapist, LLC.
