Lindsey Vandeventer, LCSW – Interagency Supervisor is a University of Oklahoma graduate and Ronald E. McNair Scholar with over 20 years of experience across clinical and community-based social work settings. She is a neurodiversity-affirming, lived-experience, liberation-oriented psychotherapist who works with adults and families navigating complex trauma and neurodivergence, including Autism, ADHD, CPTSD, dissociative identities, and personality neurotypes commonly labeled as personality disorders.
Lindsey's work is rooted in the perspective that many symptoms are not signs of brokenness, but survival responses shaped by overwhelming experiences, unmet needs, intersecting forms of oppression, and early attachment wounds. Her approach integrates EMDR alongside psychodynamic, Jungian, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral frameworks, as well as polyvagal-informed nervous system regulation and somatic and sensory-based strategies to support safety, emotional regulation, and reconnection with inner strengths.
She brings experience in outpatient care, inpatient psychiatric and substance use treatment, and infant and early childhood mental health, and is particularly attuned to clients who have felt misunderstood, over-pathologized, or pressured to mask. Lindsey prioritizes transparency, consent, growth-mindedness, and relational safety throughout her work.
Beyond direct clinical practice, Lindsey is engaged in advocacy, teaching, clinical consultation, and the supervision of early-career providers. Her work is informed by an intersectional understanding of intergenerational, interpersonal, and historical trauma, including the impacts of race, gender, sexuality, disability, poverty, and systemic oppression, and is guided by the perspective that all human beings are worthy of dignity and respect. She understands healing as both individual and collective.
A lifelong learner, Lindsey continues to study holistic psychotherapy and complementary modalities, including Reiki, alongside evidence-based trauma treatments. Outside of work, she enjoys nature-based and creative practices, sound healing, music, podcasts, true crime, and playing Palia.
