I’m Lindsey Fox—a licensed mental health therapist, trauma-informed empowerment coach, retreat facilitator, and the founder of Conscious Healers, LLC. I help high-achieving helping professionals reclaim their voice, reconnect with their authentic self, and learn to love themselves—even at the risk of disappointing others.

​

My passion for “helping the helpers” is both personal and professional. I spent much of my life as a caregiver, saying yes when I meant no, and absorbing the emotional labor of others at the expense of my own needs. That pattern—like so many others in the lives of healers—was rooted in trauma and survival. But healing requires honesty. And in my case, it required un-becoming everything I wasn’t in order to become who I truly am. My breakdown became my breakthrough. I learned how to set boundaries without guilt, listen without my triggers, and advocate for myself with compassion and clarity.

​

My journey into trauma awareness began as a teenager in 2005 when I was in London during the Tube Bombings. I was forced to evacuate a train under terrifying, unclear circumstances, guided only by the organized chaos of the brave first responders who managed the scene. That moment left a deep imprint on me—I remember feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude for their calm in the storm. Years later, during the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings, I was working in a luxury hotel when our building became an impromptu refuge. With senior leadership out of town, I coordinated a rapid emergency response—securing the facility, rerouting people to safety, and assisting in transforming parts of the hotel into triage zones. These experiences awakened something deeper in me: the intersection of trauma, calm leadership, and public service.

​

That calling led me to serve as a Unit Director for the Medical Reserve Corps under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, where I recruited lay rescuers, facilitated community preparedness drills, and advocated for resilient grassroots disaster response. Along the way, I met countless first responders and veterans—courageous people carrying invisible burdens. Over time, I saw a devastating pattern of burnout, isolation, emotional numbness, and unprocessed trauma that too often ended in tragedy. I saw myself in them.

​

So I returned to graduate school to earn my Master’s in Clinical Counseling Psychology, learned about the neurobiology of trauma, and how to treat complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. In 2023, I became certified in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy to support clients on their path to deep, conscious healing.

​

After losing a colleague—a fellow helping professional—to suicide, I made it my mission to create change. Today, I’m building Mission After Mission, a nonprofit with a two-fold purpose: outwardly, it aims to educate and serve the broader community by recruiting first responders and veterans to share their Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSAs) through emergency preparedness education and civic engagement. But behind the scenes, the mission runs even deeper—to prevent suicide among those very helpers by fostering social connection, purpose, and a renewed sense of meaning. Research shows that over 6,000 U.S. veterans die by suicide each year, and first responders are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. Mission After Mission is a place where they can channel their strength, serve with intention, and heal through connection.

​

Through Conscious Healers, I offer trauma-informed integrative coaching and transformational retreats for those who care for others but have forgotten how to care for themselves. CEOs, clinicians, first responders, veterans, and everyday changemakers come to me when they’re ready to reconnect with meaning, rebuild from burnout, and reclaim their power—with integrity, vulnerability, and radical self-love.

​

Because healing isn’t a solo journey—and helpers deserve help, too.
