Lindsay Burdette is a post-doctoral resident at The Center for Cognitive Therapy and Assessment in Falls Church and Alexandria, VA. Dr. Burdette works primarily from an Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) perspective and specializes in the treatment of anxiety, depression and trauma in adolescence through adulthood. As a former high-level athlete, she also enjoys working with athletes and high performing individuals in navigating performance anxiety, college and career decisions, coping with injury, and transitioning away from high performance sports and other high intensity careers.
Dr. Burdette earned her master’s and doctoral degrees in clinical psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC. She completed training at Children’s Hospital of Atlanta providing neuropsychological assessment for children with medical diagnoses, Friendship Public Charter School providing therapy and assessment for high school students, and private practice providing psychotherapy to adults. She completed her pre-doctoral internship at Fairfax Mental Health and Wellness providing assessment and psychotherapy to adults as well. Dr Burdette is dedicated to forming trusting relationships with her clients to help them work through areas of struggle, find their unique strengths, and live more rewarding lives.
As the Center for Cognitive Therapy and Assessment celebrates our 20th anniversary, we are also announcing that starting this fall, we will be changing the name of our practice to Expand Psychology. This change reflects our commitment to meet the ever evolving mental health needs of our clients and the community.
Since our founding, our clinical team has developed to include specialists who provide a wider range of evidence-based therapies, allowing us to serve additional client populations from infancy through adulthood, expanding our ability to work with the entire family system. Our new name captures the depth of our current services, including our ability to provide psychological testing and autism evaluation for all ages.
A new website will launch on October 3, 2025 – with a wider scope of mental health services to support you.
We continue to accept new clients during the transition and you can reach out to us via our online form at on current site, at contact@centerforcbtva.com, or phone at 703-618-0900.
