About
Lindsay Coyle, PhD, ABSP
Licensed Psychologist | LJC Psychological Services Group
Lindsay Coyle is a licensed psychologist with extensive experience in clinical, forensic, and performance-focused work. Her approach integrates careful assessment, evidence-based practice, and a deep respect for the complexity of each individual’s experience.
She works with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, life transitions, and the psychological demands of high-performing roles, as well as individuals seeking psychological assessment or expert consultation.
Background
A foundation in both clinical care and complex forensic settings.
Dr. Coyle earned her PhD in Forensic Psychology from Alliant International University, with training spanning both clinical and forensic applications. Her early career included work in state hospitals, correctional settings, and forensic evaluation contexts, where she conducted court-ordered assessments, provided treatment, and participated in multidisciplinary teams.
She has completed evaluations related to competency, risk, and diagnostic clarification, and has provided expert consultation and testimony. This background informs a thoughtful, structured approach to understanding behavior, personality, and mental health in complex situations.
In addition to her forensic work, she has experience with neuropsychological evaluation, research, and program development, contributing to a well-rounded and integrative clinical perspective.
Clinical Approach
Thoughtful, individualized care that goes beyond surface-level solutions.
Dr. Coyle’s work is grounded in the understanding that symptoms rarely exist in isolation. Anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and relationship challenges are often connected to deeper patterns involving identity, expectations, emotional regulation, and life experience.
Therapy is tailored to each individual rather than applied as a fixed formula. The process may involve insight, skill development, and practical strategies, but also a deeper exploration of the patterns shaping how someone thinks, feels, and functions.
The goal is not only symptom relief, but more sustainable change, improved functioning, and a clearer, more grounded way of navigating life.
Areas of focus
Anxiety, stress, burnout, perfectionism, life transitions, relationships, and high-performing individuals.
Additional specialties
Forensic evaluation, psychological assessment, expert consultation, and sports psychology.
Licensure
Licensed psychologist in California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Florida.
Sports Psychology
Supporting performance without losing sight of the person.
Dr. Coyle is board certified in sports psychology and has experience working with athletes and high performers across a range of contexts. This work may focus on confidence, performance anxiety, emotional regulation, identity, injury recovery, and the psychological demands of competition.
Rather than focusing only on performance outcomes, her approach considers the broader psychological factors that influence how someone performs, copes, and sustains their wellbeing over time.
This area of work often overlaps with therapy for high achievers, anxiety, and burnout, allowing for a more integrated and individualized approach.
Practice Philosophy
A balance of expertise, clarity, and genuine human connection.
Clients often seek out this practice because they want more than quick advice or surface-level coping strategies. They are looking for a space where they can think clearly, understand themselves more deeply, and make meaningful changes in how they live and function.
Dr. Coyle’s work is both structured and collaborative, combining professional expertise with an approach that is thoughtful, direct, and grounded in real-world application.
