Licensed Psychologist

Specialties: Insert here.

My name is Dr. Lindsay Lewandowski. I have spent much of my life in the calm and lake-filled Midwest, and am excited to be living in the beautiful state of Colorado. Throughout my career I have geared my focus toward helping children, adolescents, and families. I completed both my M.A. and Ph.D. in School Psychology at Ball State University.

In regard to my clinical work, I have comprehensive training in the evaluation of social-emotional needs, trauma, behavior, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and Specific Learning Disorders. Although much of my work focuses on psychological evaluations, I also provide therapy to youth and their families, as well as parent consultation. I recognize that mental health and behavioral concerns can weigh heavily on parents, and I believe that a thorough evaluation comprised of empathy, inquisitiveness, social justice, and a systems orientation is the first step to finding support. Psychological evaluations can help us understand concerns such as oppositional behavior, anger, depression, anxiety, developmental delays, giftedness, learning difficulties, inattention, and environmental stress. Every child is unique, and I enjoy helping answer parents’ questions and guiding them toward the right services.

In addition to my clinical work with youth, I also provide juvenile forensic psychology services. I completed a formal Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Forensic Psychology, with a focus on the juvenile justice system. I provide evaluations and consultation for children's services, competency, transfer to adult court, mitigation, and risk. I enjoy taking my knowledge on neurodevelopment, trauma, and behavior, and embedding it into the juvenile legal system.

Professionally: I am a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Colorado (License # PSY.00005643)

I graduated with my Masters's degree in Counseling from George Washington University, having worked as a school counselor intern in D.C. area public schools. I completed additional coursework through Penn State University and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I spent 12 years providing evidence-based behavioral therapy to children on the autism spectrum at home, school, community, and center-based settings. My work as a behavioral therapist has given me insight into how our thoughts and feelings shape our actions and can evolve into patterns that either help or hinder us. Additionally, I have training in perinatal health through Postpartum Support International. I support clients through pre-conception, pregnancy and postpartum phases, reproduction challenges, and miscarriage.

My goal is to join with my clients to create a safe, non-judgmental space to help them move forward confidently toward helpful patterns. I have experience supporting clients who are working through symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, social skills deficits, and behavioral concerns. I use an integrative approach drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Because individuals are so multi-faceted, I take a holistic approach to assessment by examining the whole person including the client's background, neurological abilities, social-emotional development, cognitive/executive functioning, academic achievement, adaptive skills, and behaviors. Rather than using a single therapeutic approach, I work to individualize each session based on what is most effective for the client. I value a strengths-based approach and incorporate aspects from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT).

The majority of my work has been supporting children and adolescents with mental health concerns, behavioral challenges, autism, and ADHD. When working with children and adolescents, I utilize several experiential therapeutic techniques including evidence-based play-based therapy, music therapy, art therapy, and outdoor therapy. I have also received specialized training in utilizing trauma-informed interventions supporting clients with complex trauma in various inpatient hospitals. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate their mental health journey, developing an authentic understanding of the situation, and then providing helpful tools that can lead to lasting change.

Professionally: I completed my bachelor's in Psychology at Colorado Christian University. I received my master's degree in School Psychology at the University of Colorado - Denver and am currently pursuing my doctorate.
