Natasch Lindsey-Acker, LCPC, LPC

Natasch Lindsey-Acker, who also goes by Talyah, is a licensed therapist in Illinois who focuses on helping people build healthier relationships with themselves and others. She combines a lifelong interest in psychology with professional experience in education and counseling, and she brings a collaborative, strengths-based approach to her work. With seven years of experience as a licensed counselor, she helps clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns and offers practical strategies to rewrite unhelpful scripts and pursue more satisfying connections.

She attended Spelman College, Columbia College, and the University of Arkansas, and holds the counseling credentials LCPC and LPC - professional licenses that indicate training and authorization to provide therapeutic services. Natasch centers her practice on relationship and family concerns, intimacy and commitment issues, parenting and fatherhood challenges, self-esteem and body image, stress and anxiety, eating and anger concerns, career and workplace difficulties, and coping with life changes. She also works with people affected by abandonment, dependent personality patterns, family of origin dynamics, narcissism, prejudice and discrimination, sexuality questions, midlife transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Natasch emphasizes the power of knowledge and teamwork in therapy. She encourages clients to gain gentle insight into how their minds and histories influence behavior, then to practice new ways of relating that promote peace, outward success, and stronger bonds. She aims to listen, support, and partner with individuals and families as they explore change and build more fulfilling lives.
