About

Sue (Susie) Swartz approaches each person in therapy as someone with a distinct story and particular needs that brought them to seek support. Whether facing a major life transition, depression, anxiety, trauma, or complicated bereavement, she encourages choosing hope as the first step toward meaningful change.

She looks to partner with clients who are ready to make changes that lead to a fuller, more purposeful life. Using a client-centered approach, Sue connects people to their own strengths and supports them in discovering more effective ways of thinking and living.

Sue values the deep responsibility of holding space for another person’s emotional, physical, and spiritual preparation for healing. She believes that positive change and growth grow from a trusting, authentic relationship, and she works with clients to identify and explore patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that stand in the way of being their best selves.

She has practical experience working in areas such as trauma, crisis intervention, victim advocacy, and supporting adults with severe mental illness. With 10 years of clinical experience, Sue brings that background to help clients move toward sustainable pathways of recovery and resilience.

Sue practices in California and is a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state, holding license CA LMFT 124329. She works with concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, relationship issues, family conflicts, and parenting challenges.
