Our Team
A healer's power
stems not from any special
ability, but from maintaining the courage and awareness to embody and express the universal healing power that every human being naturally possesses.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Founder and Director -
Hazel House Holistic Healing
​
Hi, I'm Dr. Lindsay Vaughn.
I'm a Licensed Psychologist and the founder of
Hazel House Holistic Healing. In addition to working with my
therapy clients, supervising my students and pre-licensed therapists, and
overseeing the operations of our entire team,
​
I personally conduct a thorough review of every new client's personal information, provided through our bio-psycho-social questionnaire.
​
Using my skills in assessment, developed over 23 years as a psychologist, as well as my intimate knowledge of our services and team members, I develop treatment recommendations and identify which of our team members
are best suited to support you on your journey.
​
You can read more about me by clicking here, although I'm unable to
accept any new therapy clients
at this time.
I'd like to introduce you to my team...
I've shared some of the qualities that stand out about them,
and these are the things that make each of them special to me.
