As a graduate of Case Western Reserve University, I earned my Master’s degree in Social Science Administration (MSSA) in 2013 and have been a practicing licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Los Angeles area since 2016. Over the past decade, I have been privileged to help hundreds of individuals regain balance in their lives.
My clinical expertise primarily revolves around trauma-focused therapy, but have addressed many issues such as depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, panic disorders, and personality disorders. I am trained in several therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I view therapy as a highly collaborative process, working alongside my clients to foster positive changes and personal growth. If you are ready to make meaningful changes in your life, I would be happy to partner with you on that journey.
Lindsey Chesus
Associate Marriage and Family Therapist MA, MS, AMFT



Navigating the mental health system is not an easy task. I believe therapy should be a space to feel safe and heard regardless of your life experiences, and that your culture and identity are important to celebrate and integrate into therapy.
My approach to therapy is person centered, trauma focused, and psychodynamic, with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a key component for client change. Part of this therapeutic relationship is knowing when to step in and challenge clients, especially if their actions are harmful or destructive to themselves, so I step in and guide clients directly when needed.
I consider myself an integrative therapist and like to focus on the best way to address an issue to fit the client’s needs over strict adherence to a modality over the course of treatment. The therapy modalities I draw from in my practice are DBT, ACT, CBT, Relational-Cultural Therapy, Mindfulness interventions, trauma and attachment interventions, and other process-oriented therapy interventions.
My experience working as a therapist and teacher has given me a unique toolbox and ability to understand both my role as a therapist and how I can do better to actively fight systemic mistreatment of BIPOC and the LGBTQIA+ community.



I currently offer therapy for individuals and couples, specializing in LGBTQ+ issues, trauma recovery, sex and intimacy, addiction, and men’s issues. I believe that gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves frees us from unhelpful patterns and enables us to live a more authentic life. With a compassion-focused, humanistic approach, I integrate techniques from CBT, DBT, ACT, and mindfulness to foster a therapeutic experience centered around the individual’s unique needs and lived experiences. I prioritize authenticity, empathy, humor, and respect, creating a safe space for exploration and growth.
I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, where I focused my coursework on LGBTQ-affirmative therapy and trauma-informed care. I am currently working under the supervision of Jason Murphy, LMFT.
