About Dr. Ilyssa Bass

Dr. Ilyssa Bass is passionate about helping parents appreciate and connect to their most difficult children. She trained as a clinical psychologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara and studied developmental psychology at Stanford University. In addition to her academic credentials, and perhaps more important, Dr. Bass is a mother of three unique and wonderful children. Her personal journey as a parent of a child with multiple hidden differences gives her deep compassion for the complexity of parenting children who the popular parenting books are just not written for. Dr. Bass lives and works in private practice in Jerusalem.
