Lemecia Lindsey, LICSW

Welcome — I’m Glad You’re Here

Hello, I’m Lemecia Lindsey (she/her). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDRIA Approved Certified Therapist™, EMDRIA Approved Consultant™, and owner of Vancouver EMDR Therapy in Vancouver, Washington.

I provide in-person therapy for adults in Vancouver, WA and telehealth therapy for clients living throughout Washington and Oregon.

My practice is rooted in an integrative approach to trauma therapy designed to support transformative healing and change how the brain and nervous system respond to trauma.

My approach with clients combines evidence-based, brain-based therapies, including:

  • EMDR
  • Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)
  • Ketamine-Assisted EMDR Therapy (KA-EMDR®)
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed EMDR
  • Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS)

An Integrative Approach to Trauma Healing

For more than 25 years, I have helped adults recover from traumatic life experiences, reduce PTSD symptoms, and rebuild a stronger relationship with themselves and others.

Lemecia Lindsey, LICSW

My work is grounded in an integrative, neuroscience-informed approach that addresses the root causes of trauma — not just symptom management. Trauma often impacts the brain, body, and nervous system. That’s why I combine evidence-based trauma therapies with mind-body methods to support lasting change.

Together, we work to help you:

  • Feel safe in your body again
  • Improve sleep and reduce nightmares
  • Decrease anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms
  • Reconnect with resilience, clarity, and inner strength

I combine the latest advancements in neuroscience, trauma treatment, and innovative therapeutic techniques. As an integrative trauma therapist, I focus on addressing the root causes of your challenges—not just the symptoms. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and personalized, creating a safe space to share your story, explore your goals, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Rather than teaching clients to “cope” with their symptoms, I help them to heal.

Lemecia Lindsey, LICSWWho I Work With

I work with adults seeking trauma therapy in Vancouver, Washington through in-person sessions and telehealth, and I provide telehealth services to clients throughout Washington and Oregon. My practice is affirming of all sexual orientations, gender identities, cultural backgrounds, and neurotypes.

Why I Became a Therapist

My own experiences in therapy, beginning in my early 20s and continuing at different stages throughout my life, have been life-changing and ultimately inspired me to become a therapist. Having experienced the power of this work personally, I approach each client with deep respect and gratitude for the courage it takes to seek support. It is an honor to hold space for the healing, growth, and transformation that can unfold through therapy.

About Me

Outside of work, I enjoy: quiet mornings with a cup of coffee, time outdoors and nature walks, reading or watching Netflix, mindfulness and compassionate practices.

My greatest joy comes from being with my husband, our dog Hanna, our four adult children, and three granddaughters. These moments of connection inspire my work and remind me of the importance of balance, play and self-care.

A Personalized Therapy Experience

I maintain a smaller client caseload in order to provide personalized, high-quality care and remain fully engaged in each client’s treatment process. I personally manage scheduling, billing and communication directly, which allows for greater continuity, responsiveness, and accessibility throughout therapy. I also value collaboration with other providers when clinically appropriate to support coordinated and comprehensive care. This approach supports a more individualized and connected therapeutic experience.
