Serving Clients in Seattle (In-Person) & Throughout Washington (Virtually)Lindsay McCartney, LCSW
Individual and Couples Therapist, Seattle
I am a relational and trauma informed therapist who has over 18 years of experience and values the courage it takes to embark on your unique journey of growth and self-discovery. I love working with adults to help improve quality of life and relationships.
My clinical career started with seven years in community social work moving into residential and outpatient settings. My experience has been working with children and families, adolescents and adults facing challenges related to substance use and mental health. This work sparked my interest in gaining more specialty training with couples.
In 2018, I took the leap into private practice, focusing my expertise on working with adults and couples seeking transformation and healing. As a trauma-informed therapist, my approach is rooted in various evidence-based therapies like DBT, CBT and ACT.
I have undergone specialized training in PACT 1 & 2 (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), further enhancing my ability to work with couples and individuals seeking to improve their relationships and emotional well-being. I became a Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist in 2024 and have integrated this trauma work into my practice with individuals and couples.
My commitment to personal and professional growth inspires my work as a therapist. I believe in the importance of continuous learning and self-improvement, regularly engaging in my own individual and group therapy, professional consultation, and continuing education trainings. I want to always continue learning, growing and expanding as a human and therapist.
Beyond my work, you'll find me hiking, kayaking, listening to too many therapy books and podcasts, and planning my next trip! It's a privilege to share this journey with you and I look forward to joining you on the path to growth, healing and well-being.
Modalities offered: ketamine-assisted therapy, individual therapy and couples therapy.

Working together, we will explore your past and how it is impacting your present. We will identify where the shame originated. Together we will start to make sense of your story and learn how to build more self compassion so you can live with more freedom.
I will use techniques from CBT, DBT and mindfulness to identify and process the feelings associated with anxiety and shame. We will practice strategies for moving through anxiety when it arises and takes over. I’m here to help you feel more grounded and reduce anxious thoughts and overwhelm. I can help you move out of the freeze and into more connection and presence.

Ketamine therapy is an excellent option if you feel like you’ve tried everything but still feel stuck. It is a safe and legal therapeutic option for treating symptoms ranging from depression and anxiety to OCD and eating disorders.
Ketamine therapy is a science-backed intervention that heals on a neurobiological level, ultimately creating more lasting and transformative change.

I work with couples who feel stuck and are seeking support from a third party to help gain movement and provide hope. Couples often need help to learn better communication skills, to fight fairly, and improve connection and intimacy.
In couples therapy, I use the PACT model (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy).
I was trained in PACT level 1 and 2. I enjoy this therapy with couples because it is active and deals with things in the moment. I show up to each session present and open to what is happening between the couple. This is not a cookie cutter model and is flexible and works with each couple where they are.
