I was born in central Kentucky, grew up in northern Alabama, and earned my undergraduate degree in psychology from Mississippi State University. I earned my Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Colorado State University in 2013, after completing an APA-accredited doctoral internship at Duke University Counseling and Psychological Services.
I provide care to kids and adults with a wide range of issues, but I especially enjoy working with people with anxiety, autism, and ADHD. I have specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), comprehensive psychological assessment, and career assessment and counseling. I am also trained in SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions), a parent-focused treatment for anxiety and OCD in children and teenagers. I have provided therapy, consultation, and assessment to children, adults, and families in many different settings, including university counseling centers, a university career center, community colleges, a community mental health clinic, a public school district, and independent schools. I am an LGBTQ-affirming therapist and often work with clients who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.
I am licensed in the state of North Carolina (NC license #4772) and am authorized to practice in many other states under PSYPACT. I am a longtime member of the American Psychological Association and the North Carolina Psychological Association. I serve on the NCPA Continuing Education Committee.
I am a supporter of Breakthrough T1D and the Diabetes Family Connection. I maintain an Instagram account for the public where I post resources for families and professionals supporting children with needle anxiety and related concerns (@drlindseycopeland).
I live in Raleigh with my family, my ridiculous cat, and a Japanese fire-bellied newt. I love reading, baking, craft projects, doodling on everything, and playing outside with my kids.
