About Lindsey

I'm a licensed psychotherapist with a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington. I work with adults navigating anxiety, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, substance use and recovery, and the ordinary hard stretches of life that don't have a diagnosis attached.

My style is warm and direct. I'll tell you what I'm noticing, and I'll ask about the things you might be steering around. I also think in images, when something is hard to put into words, I usually reach for a metaphor, because most of what happens in this work doesn't come with clean language attached.

I've been in the field since 2008. Before going full-time in private practice, I spent years counseling and teaching in residential dual diagnosis treatment centers, and I'm a co-author of the treatment curriculum currently used across all American Addiction Centers facilities. I continue to write clinical curriculum for treatment programs. I'm also certified through Counseling Services for Fire Fighters to work with first responders.

I'm certified in EMDR and serve as an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, which means I also consult with other clinicians working toward their own EMDR certification. EMDR helps people heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that follow disturbing life experiences, and it's often useful when something hasn't fully settled no matter how much you've talked about it.

My work is also shaped by CBT, DBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and DNMS, along with mindfulness practices that bring attention back to the present. In practice, I draw on whatever actually helps rather than running you through one method.

I see clients in Arlington, Southlake, and online. I'm licensed in Texas and Maine.
