Lindsay Fleming is a therapist specializing in children, teens, and young adults with a focus on anxiety and ADHD. In addition to being a therapist, Lindsay is a mental health advocate with a research-based presence on TikTok. Tune in to hear what she has to say about social media, the struggles teens face, and the importance of countering mental health misinformation. “There’s a lot of misinformation on social media. A lot of people in the field say ‘yes, be on social media’ and others in the field say ‘that’s not our place.’ My opinion is that people are going to be out there talking about it—we might as well have someone who’s licensed in the mix.” - Lindsay Fleming Links:  Christie’s Instagram: @sasssays  Lindsay’s TikTok: @lindsay.fleminglpc Lindsay’s Instagram: @lindsay.fleminglpc
