Lindsey Cieslak

The world can be a chaotic and unpredictable place and we all need support sometimes to make sense of our experiences. I think that it takes great self-awareness and true courage to seek out professional assistance as we journey through self-discovery in order to begin the healing process.

Hello and welcome!  My name is Lindsey Cieslak and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, as well as the Client Relations Manager for Good Therapy San Diego.  I received my undergraduate degree in Human Development from California State University, and I have my master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.  

As the Client Relations Manager, I work with the Operations Manager to oversee a team of highly empathic and compassionate intake specialists. We ensure that our values remain consistent regardless of who answers the phone when you take that first step with Good Therapy San Diego. We have the pleasure of meeting you at the very beginning of your therapeutic journey, learning a bit about your story, and pairing you with the right therapist that will best assist in the healing process.

I am also a clinician at GTSD.  My clinical experience includes working in a residential treatment facility where I was able to provide therapy for those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational issues. My therapeutic approach is one that is client-driven and collaborative. I am well versed in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and psychodynamic approaches. In addition, I am privileged to have had training in Gottman Couples Therapy, which is the only evidence-based couples therapy currently available. I think it is important to have an extensive tool box so that I can modify my approach to best fit your needs. I believe it can be most effective to draw upon your experience and insight to help you to reach your own personal goals. I offer a safe space to help untangle your thoughts and emotions in an encouraging, loving, and non-judgmental manner. When we are able to bring what’s on the inside to the outside we can then shine some light on it and start moving in the direction that can bring happiness and peace. Together we will develop skills that will be the building blocks to a positive transformation.

As a member of the Good Therapy San Diego family, I have developed a deep gratitude that I am a part of a company that aims to truly make a difference in each individual, our community, and in turn, makes a positive impact on the world.  I look forward to speaking with you, learning about your goals, and helping aid in your positive transformation!  I would be grateful to support you and shine the light on your path to real happiness. 

Please call (619) 330-9500 or email intake@goodtherapysandiego.com to get scheduled with me or another therapist at GTSD!
