Waves Neurofeedback & Counseling was created by Lindsay Dec.
Lindsay Dec
History: After being a Licensed Massage Therapist for over a decade, I wanted to help people in a new way. I earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health from OSU-Cascades campus in June of 2014. I practiced at Bend Counseling & Biofeedback for over 4 years before moving to Portland in January 2018. I had a private practice in Portland until I relocated to Venice, Florida in 2020.
Education & Credentials: While in graduate school, I also earned a certificate in Interpersonal Neurobiology from Portland State University. I'm a trained practitioner in HeartMath Biofeedback, HEG Neurofeedback, Brain-Trainer Neurofeedback and the Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS). I am currently a Licensed Counselor in Oregon, Florida, Washington, Montana, and Illinois.
My approach: I practice counseling along with neurofeedback. I include CBT, ACT, EMDR and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients address their brain, mind, and body. I am also IFS informed and use approaches from IFS in my practice. I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment free of judgment. We will develop a collaborative relationship to work toward your goals.
Volunteer: As a way to give back, I'm on the OSU-Cascades Advisory Board for the counseling program and I’m a committee member and subject matter expert with the National Board of Certified Counselors for the NCMHCE exam.
Personal: I love living in Florida. My family vacationed here when I was a child and it has always felt like a magical place to me. My hobbies include board games, reading, learning, playing with my nieces, spending time with friends and family, and exploring outdoors.
