Getting to know Ilyse Lindsey

I help people strengthen relationships, reduce distress, and build practical skills for everyday life. I’m Ilyse Lindsey, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Art Therapist with Best Intentions Behavioral Therapy by YYW Services. I completed my graduate training at Loyola Marymount University. I work with children age 6 and older, adolescents, adults, and seniors, including individuals, couples, and families, using a warm, direct, collaborative style. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, anger, adjustment concerns, life and career transitions, self-esteem, family conflict, relationship concerns, dual-diagnosis challenges, and serious mental illness. I offer gender-affirming mental health care and support clients exploring gender identity. I welcome Veterans and LGBTQIA+ clients and recognize the added pressures that can accompany medical concerns and caregiving. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, family systems, interpersonal work, and structural family therapy. We explore the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and interaction patterns that are keeping you stuck and develop tools for emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and problem-solving. With younger clients, I involve caregivers as appropriate while keeping the young person’s voice central. Together, we set goals, practice skills between sessions, and review what is improving. We adjust the pace and approach to your needs so that therapy supports meaningful, sustainable change. California license: LMFT #155479. Registered Art Therapist: ATR #24-442. NPI: 1548142128.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You can expect a warm, direct and collaborative approach. I work with individuals, couples, and families on anxiety, depression, anger, family conflict, self-esteem, life changes, and relationship concerns. I welcome Veterans and LGBTQIA+ clients. We will discuss your needs and preferences, develop clear goals, and identify practical tools to use between sessions. For younger clients, caregiver involvement is planned thoughtfully while respecting the young person’s voice.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin by exploring your concerns, strengths, relationships, and goals. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, family systems, interpersonal and structural family approaches, we examine patterns in thoughts, emotions, behavior and relationships. With couples and families, we identify negative cycles, clarify needs, practice boundaries and strengthen communication. We develop practical skills, plan manageable steps between visits, and review progress together so the plan can change with your needs.
