Lindsey Warwick has a Ph.D. in counseling with an emphasis on counselor education and supervision. She is also a licensed professional counselor in the states of Oregon and Texas and a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of Texas. Additionally, she is an assistant professor of counseling at Southern Oregon University.

As a dual citizen of New Zealand and the United States, Lindsey has extensive clinical experience working internationally with a wide variety of people. Lindsey has done advanced training in complex PTSD (C-PTSD), including having a 10 year somatic bodywork practice prior to becoming a licensed counselor, training in EMDR, and training in parts work through the internal family systems model. Lindsey also continues to engage in research on CPTSD to explore underlying causes and potential treatments. You can see her publications in the About section.

Lindsey also has a comprehensive background in Eastern philosophical and spiritual theory and practice, particularly Advaita Vedanta, Bhakti Yoga, and Zen Buddhism. Lindsey’s Eastern philosophical background informs her clinical work by centering human suffering as an unavoidable aspect of the human experience — and a tool that can be used for profound change. When working with clients, her goal is to facilitate deep inner exploration to forge a pathway toward integration and transcendence.

Lindsey also utilizes a decolonizing framework to attend to the social justice issues that contribute to human suffering and to address and remediate spiritual bypassing, which often occurs with spiritual and philosophical practices centered on non-attachment and surrender.
